THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM Voted Best British Film
by Andre Soares
Paul Greengrass‘ The Bourne Ultimatum, starring Matt Damon, is the "British people’s choice" for the Richard Attenborough Film Award for best British film. The public vote took place via 25 regional media outlets. As per The Guardian, Greengrass’ thriller has been seen by more than 4 million viewers in the United Kingdom.
At the 2008 Oscar ceremony, The Bourne Ultimatum won three statuettes: best editing (Christopher Rouse), best sound editing, and best sound mixing.
Greengrass and Damon are supposed to rejoin forces on a fourth and final Bourne installment. A production date has yet to be announced.
Last month, the Richard Attenborough Film Awards, voted for by British regional press journalists, named Atonement as best film. The period drama also won awards for director Joe Wright, screenwriter Christopher Hampton, and actor James McAvoy. (At the Oscars, Atonement took only one award: best original score for Dario Marianelli.)
Academy Award-nominated Cate Blanchett was named best actress for Elizabeth: The Golden Age, while Sam Riley — who has been strangely ignored on the American side of the Atlantic — won the rising star award for his performance as the late Joy Division singer Ian Curtis in Control.
