Robert Pattinson, with lightning speed, said as he took to the podium at the 2010 BAFTA awards ceremony: &#34;Congratulations to Jenny? she&#8217;s a fantastic makeup artist.&#34; The &#34;Jenny&#34; in question is  Jenny Shircore, who won a BAFTA for Best Makeup and Hair for her work on Jean-Marc Vallee&#8217;s The Young Victoria, in which Emily Blunt plays Queen Victoria. Pattinson then went on to carefully read the teleprompter, before announcing the winner in the best original screenplay category. The winner turned out to be Mark Boal for Kathryn Bigelow&#8217;s Iraq War drama The Hurt Locker, the evening&#8217;s top [...]]]></description>

Kristen Stewart, following clips showing her with the likes of Jodie Foster and, inevitably, Robert Pattinson, accepted her Orange Rising Star Award at the BAFTA ceremony held this evening at London&#8217;s Royal Opera House. Stewart&#8217;s competition was European Film Award winner Tahar Rahim (the star of Jacques Audiard&#8217;s A Prophet, winner of the Best Foreign Language Film BAFTA Award), Jesse Eisenberg, Nicholas Hoult, and Best Actress winner Carey Mulligan (An Education). Tahar Rahim can be seen applauding Stewart&#8217;s win as she walks to the stage.
&#34;First I have to thank all the fans of Twilight for proving again to be the most devoted and attentive fans ever,&#34; a very nervous Stewart said upon accepting her award. (Camera cut to Carey Mulligan [...]]]></description>

The BAFTA surprises weren&#8217;t  major surprises, except for one: the Outstanding British Film was Andrea Arnold&#8217;s gritty Fish Tank instead of the  more internationally recognized An Education. Nominated for eight BAFTAs, An Education ended up winning only one: Best Actress for Carey Mulligan, whose victory could be considered &#34;a surprise&#34; only in the sense that across the Atlantic she has no chance &#8212; or almost no chance &#8212; of winning the Oscar. 
But in her home turf, Mulligan&#8217;s chances were anything but nil. An Education has been widely praised and [...]]]></description>

Jeremy Renner in The Hurt Locker

The Hurt Locker, Kathryn Bigelow, Colin Firth, Carey Mulligan. Surprises and non-surprises at the BAFTAs, held Sunday evening at London&#8217;s Royal Opera House. Mostly non-surprises.
The fact that The Hurt Locker beat Avatar wasn&#8217;t really a surprise. The Iraq War drama about a team of bomb disposal experts is also the odds-on favorite to win the Best Picture and Best Director Academy Awards following its Producers Guild, Directors Guild, and Writers Guild wins. Kathryn Bigelow became the first woman to win the BAFTA Award for Best Director, a feat she&#8217;s supposed to repeat in a couple of weeks when she&#8217;ll almost inevitably become the first woman to win an Oscar in the Best Director category.

More Robert Pattinson at the BAFTAs. Fans go crazy as can be attested by the clip above. Mo&#8217;Nique is a no-show, but I wonder if any of the fans outside noticed or cared. Precious director Lee Daniels had to hop onstage to collect her Best Supporting Actress Award for playing Gabourey Sidibe&#8217;s abusive mom.
Xan Brooks, who, I might add, is no Twilight fan, did notice and did care about Mo&#8217;Nique&#8217;s absence. &#34;Why the lack of Mo&#8217;Nique?,&#34; inquired Brooks in The Guardian. &#34;Didn&#8217;t think she&#8217;d win, or just not arsed  enough to come? Answers on a blog comment, please. And riddle me this:  do you think she&#8217;ll take the same coy and enigmatic stance when the  Oscars roll [...]]]></description>

In the clip above, you get to see Robert Pattinson, he of the upcoming Remember Me, arriving at the BAFTAs. Pattinson is only a presenter, but he may just as well have been the evening&#8217;s top winner as far as fans were concerned. The Twilight Saga: New Moon wasn&#8217;t even nominated for anything, but no matter. Colin Firth? Carey Mulligan? Andrea Arnold? Kathryn Bigelow? Jeff Bridges? Gabourey Sidibe? Neill Blomkamp? Lone Scherfig? It&#8217;s Robert Pattinson they want. (I should add that  Vanessa Redgrave is at the BAFTAs as well, with surviving daughter Joely Richardson.)
&#34;It&#8217;s taken me an awful lot of time to work out what I wanted to do with my life,&#34; Duncan Jones said upon accepting the award [...]]]></description>

Kristen Stewart&#8217;s appearance at the BAFTA 2010 awards show has caused quite a stir because her fellow Twilight, The Twilight Saga: New Moon, and The Twilight Saga: Eclipse co-star Robert Pattinson will be a presenter at the ceremony.
Stewart was briefly interviewed on the BAFTA red carpet, where she answered a couple of questions about her Twilight success and the fact that she has been nominated for the British Academy&#8217;s Orange Rising Star Award. Stewart&#8217;s fellow nominees are Carey Mulligan, Jesse Eisenberg, Tahar Rahim, and Nicholas Hoult.
&#34;The fact that this doesn&#8217;t involve Twilight is  a little overwhelming because I&#8217;ve always figured it was all wrapped up in that &#8212; and it is &#8230; But it&#8217;s funny to see Twilight end [...]]]></description>

Robert Pattinson,  Kate Winslet, Claire Danes,  Uma Thurman, Guy Pearce, Dustin Hoffman, Clive Owen, Matt Dillon, Noel Clarke, Terry Gilliam, Rupert Everett and Jonathan Rhys Meyers are some of the performers scheduled to present awards at the British Academy Awards ceremony tomorrow. In the US, the evening will be aired on BBC America at 8p.m. ET and 7:30p.m. PT &#8212; long after everyone already knows the identity of the BAFTA winners.
Hollywood movies dominate the BAFTAs this year &#8212; as in years past. Top nominated films include James Cameron&#8217;s Avatar, Kathryn Bigelow&#8217;s The Hurt Locker, Jason Reitman&#8217;s Up in the Air, and Lee Daniels&#8216; Precious. Lone Scherfig&#8217;s An Education is the sole major British contender. [...]]]></description>

Hollywood Dominates BAFTAs 2010
Among the BAFTA 2010 curiosities are best actress nominee Audrey Tautou for Coco Before Chanel,  best actor nominee Andy Serkis for Sex &#38; Drugs &#38; Rock &#38; Roll,  best supporting actor Alec Baldwin for It&#8217;s Complicated (above, with Meryl Streep),  a best original screenplay nod for The Hangover, only one nomination for Nine (for makeup and hair), the total absence of The Last Station, and no nominations in the acting/direction/cinematography categories  for Jane Campion&#8217;s Bright Star. That&#8217;s what usually happens when a movie&#8217;s Award Buzzometer is low &#8212; no matter how good the movie; no matter how talented the people involved in them. 
Also, Tom Hardy, whose performance in Bronson has earned him [...]]]></description>

Some people complain that the Hollywood Academy is enamored of British productions and talent. Well, then perhaps Hollywood and the United Kingdom should switch academies, for the British Academy of Film and Television Arts  can&#8217;t get enough of Hollywood fare. (See full list of BAFTA nominations  here.)
James Cameron&#8217;s Hollywood blockbuster Avatar, Kathryn Bigelow&#8217;s  Iraq war drama The Hurt Locker, and Lone Scherfig&#8217;s British-made coming-of-age tale An Education lead the race of BAFTA award nominees, with eight nominations apiece. All three are up for best film (An Education is also up for Best British Film), and so are Lee Daniels&#8216; urban drama Precious and Jason Reitman&#8217;s socially conscious comedy-drama Up in the Air. All three films in the [...]]]></description>

Jesse Eisenberg, Nicholas Hoult, Carey Mulligan, Tahar Rahim, and Kristen Stewart (but neither Robert Pattinson nor People&#8217;s Choice Award winner Taylor Lautner) are the British Academy of Film &#38; Television&#8217;s nominees for the 2010 Orange Rising Star Award. Former Orange Rising Star winners include James McAvoy, Eva Green, and Shia LaBeouf.
According to the BAFTA site, &#8220;The Orange Rising Star Award recognises five international actors and actresses who have demonstrated exceptional talent and have begun to capture the imagination of the public as a star in the making.&#8221; You can vote for your favorite here.
In addition to  Roger Dodger, Jesse Eisenberg was recently featured in  Adventureland and Zombieland, while Nicholas Hoult, the solitary kid in About a Boy who [...]]]></description>

AN EDUCATION, INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS, AVATAR: BAFTA 2010 Longlists
Things get a little more international in the BAFTAs&#8217; acting categories.  Talent in non-Hollywood films include Ben Whishaw and Abbie Cornish (Bright Star, above), Carey Mulligan, Alfred Molina, Emma Thompson, and Dominic Cooper (An Education), Andy Serkis (Sex &#38; Drugs &#38; Rock &#38; Roll), Helen Mirren and Christopher Plummer (The Last Station), Michael Sheen and Timothy Spall (The Damned United), Penelope Cruz (Broken Embraces), Audrey Tautou (Coco Before Chanel), Anne-Marie Duff (Nowhere Boy), and Katie Jarvis (Fish Tank). 
But where&#8217;s Michael Fassbender? He&#8217;s nowhere to be found for his work in Fish Tank, but Zachary Quinto is in there for Star Trek.

With 17 mentions, Lone Scherfig&#8217;s An Education leads the 2010 British Academy of Film and Television Arts award longlists. Quentin Tarantino&#8217;s Inglourious Basterds is next with 15 mentions, followed by  Kathryn Bigelow&#8217;s The Hurt Locker with 12.  James Cameron&#8217;s Avatar and Peter Jackson&#8217;s The Lovely Bones received 11 mentions apiece. (See next page.)
As usual,  talent in small British films was bypassed in favor of those found in Hollywood productions. Up, Up in the Air, Star Trek, Gran Torino, A Serious Man, and Precious are a few [...]]]></description>

As usual, Hollywood and Anglo-American productions dominate the longlists of the 2009 British Academy of Film and Television Awards. 
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and Frost/Nixon have 14 nominations each, followed by Slumdog Millionaire, The Reader, Revolutionary Road, Changeling, and The Dark Knight with 13; Milk and Burn After Reading with 11;  and Doubt, The Wrestler, Mamma Mia!, The Duchess, and In Bruges with 9.
Small British films  managed only a handful of nods: three for Hunger and Happy-Go-Lucky; two for Dean Spanley. Non-English-language films fared just as poorly: five nominations for I&#8217;ve Loved You So Long, three for Waltz with Bashir, [...]]]></description>

According to Variety, among the eligible films utterly ignored by British Academy of Film are The Great Debaters, Grace Is Gone, The Savages, Hallam Foe, When Did You Last See Your Father?, and Half Nelson. 
I&#8217;m Not There and Away from Her only managed one mention a piece, for Cate Blanchett and Julie Christie, respectively.
Half Nelson apparently suffered the fate of other films that arrive in the UK after the Oscar ballyhoo is over for them. Letters from Iwo Jima, which appears twice (adapted screenplay and special visual effects) in the longlists, probably suffered for the [...]]]></description>

Though usually more open to non-English-language films than the U.S.-based Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the Orange British Academy of Film and Television Arts failed to place either Pedro Almodóvar&#8217;s Volver or Guillermo del Toro&#8217;s  Pan&#8217;s Labyrinth as one (or two) of this year&#8217;s best film or best director nominees. 
Pan&#8217;s Labyrinth did, however, receive a total of 8 nominations, including best foreign-language film and best original screenplay (del Toro). Almodóvar had to settle for a nomination in the best foreign-language film category, plus a best actress nod for Penélope Cruz.
As to be expected, the top nominees were The Queen, with ten nods, and [...]]]></description>

Brokeback Mountain was the big winner at the BAFTA 2006 Awards. Based on E. Annie Proulx&#8217;s short story about the doomed love affair between two Wyoming ranch hands, Brokeback Mountain won a total of four awards: best picture, best director (Ang Lee), best adapted screenplay (Larry McMurtry and Diana Ossana), and, surprisingly, best supporting actor for Jake Gyllenhaal. (While accepting the best film award, producer James Schamus jokingly complained that his film has been unfairly labeled &#8220;the gay cowboy movie,&#8221; when it actually is a &#8220;universal love story about two gay shepherds.&#8221;)


Two actors portraying real-life characters also came out on top: Philip Seymour Hoffman was chosen best [...]]]></description>

The 2006  British Academy Film Awards (BAFTAs) have been announced. The largest number of nominations went to The Constant Gardener (10), Crash (9), and Brokeback Mountain (9). All three films were nominated for best picture, while The Constant Gardener (above) also received a best British film nod. Mirroring the trend on the western side of the Atlantic, the best picture contenders are all relatively &#34;small&#34; (at least partly) American-financed films. The other two nominees are Capote and Good Night and Good Luck. 
Peter Jackson&#8217;s King Kong only managed three nominations, all in the technical categories, whereas Steven Spielberg&#8217;s Munich, probably because of a screener snafu, was completely shut out. Considering how the British Academy awards tend to favor British [...]]]></description>

Clint Eastwood&#8217;s Million Dollar Baby (above, with Eastwood and Hilary Swank), Jean-Pierre Jeunet&#8217;s Un long dimanche de fiançailles / A Very Long Engagement, Bill Condon&#8217;s Kinsey, and Alexander Payne&#8217;s Sideways have been shortchanged by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts&#8216;
new rules. 
The aforementioned films were officially eligible for the 2004 BAFTA awards, but Sideways only managed to get one nomination for its screenplay, Un long dimanche de fiançailles received one nod in the best foreign-language film category, while Million Dollar Baby and Kinsey were completely ignored.
The problem is that several potential contenders for the BAFTA Awards have been just released in the United Kingdom, or they are yet to be released in that country.
