No real surprises there then. Congratulations to all and particularly to Mr Day-Lewis for his record breaking win as the first man to ever win three Best Actor Oscars.

 Do you think the right films won?

Until next time.

BAFTA 2015 Winners Announced

The celebrities sparkled and the carpet was red. The BAFTA awards took place this evening in fabulous Royal Opera House in London and with many of the nominations echoing the upcoming Oscars so many people are wondering if there is an indication of who will take home a statuette alongside their BAFTA this year. Anyway, there are a few surprises but it's not a shock to see British movie The Theory of Everything having so much success, it's a shame the beautifully shot The Imitation Game didn't take home any gongs. The horror! Enjoy the list of winners while I head off for a celebratory drink or two. Best Film in 2015 Boyhood Dir: Richard Linklater Leading Actor Eddie Redmayne - The Theory of Everything Leading Actress Julianne Moore - Still Alice Outstanding British Film The Theory of Everything Dir: James Marsh Best Supporting Actor J.K Simmons - Whiplash Best Supporting Actress Patricia Arquette - Boyhood Original Screenplay The Grand Budapest

That's why when I watched Gone Girl I walked through the door with preconceptions from the novel. If you like reading then you probably didn't miss the uproar surrounding the book  Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn. Prior to the movie announcement I had already read it (a fantastic page turner) and when I heard the movie was in production my anticipation was huge. I knew that if it was executed to reflect the quality of the source material it was going to be a gripping. Then David Fincher was set to direct and I just couldn't wait.
