Anne-Marie Duff: BAFTA After-Party Photo

Anne-Marie Duff, a Best Supporting Actress BAFTA nominee for Sam Taylor-Wood’s Nowhere Boy, was present at the BAFTA Soho House Grey Goose after party at the Grosvenor House Hotel on February 21 in London. Though one of the leads in The Last Station, which earned Academy Award nominations for Helen Mirren and Christopher Plummer, Duff’s husband James McAvoy has been all but ignored this awards season.

Duff, on the other hand, has received several nominations for her performance as John Lennon’s mother in Nowhere Boy. (Lennon is played by Aaron Johnson.) In addition to her BAFTA nod, Duff was nominated by the London Critics Circle, the [...]

Colin Firth, Carey Mulligan, Mo’Nique, Christoph Waltz: 2010 London Film Critics’ Awards

MOON Wins 2009 British Independent Film Award
At the British Independent Film Awards, National Board of Review winner Carey Mulligan (above) bagged her second best actress award this awards season — which has just begun. Had Mulligan been eligible for the Gotham Awards, she’d have given The Maid’s Catalina Saavedra a run for her Chilean pesos. (The Gothams are supposed to honor American independent films, that’s why Mulligan’s British-made An Education wasn’t eligible. Chile is in South America, which makes its film productions American.
