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>
