Brokeback Mountain was the big winner at the BAFTA 2006 Awards. Based on E. Annie Proulx’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 “the gay cowboy movie,” when it actually is a “universal love story about two gay shepherds.”)

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

2005 BAFTA Nominations

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 "small" (at least partly) American-financed films. The other two nominees are Capote and Good Night and Good Luck.
Peter Jackson’s King Kong only managed three nominations, all in the technical categories, whereas Steven Spielberg’s Munich, probably because of a screener snafu, was completely shut out. Considering how the British Academy awards tend to favor British [...]
