Sol Papadopoulos and Roy Boulter BAFTA Awards: Carl Foreman Award -- Liverpool offered $375,000 apiece for three features celebrating its status as European City of Culture in 2008, so Papadopoulos and Boulter approached Terence Davies to film a personal odyssey back to his home town. VarietySimon Chinn (`Man on Wire`) Film News: Carl Foreman Award -- Chinn has an impressive set of credits producing TV docs and docudramas. He got the idea for 'Man on Wire' when he heard Philippe Petit on radio talking about his coup in walking an illegal tightrope between Manhattan's Twin Towers back in 1974. VarietyBAFTA Alexander Korda Award BAFTA Awards: Honor recognizes original British films -- The Tale of Despereaux' and 'Quantum of Solace' were British movies according to BAFTA, but 'The Dark Knight' and 'The Reader' were not. If that makes sense to you, then you won't have any trouble understanding the arcane method by which BAFTA chooses the winner of its Alexander Korda Award for Outstanding British Film. VarietyGarth Jennings (`Son of Rambow`) Film News: Carl Foreman Award -- Having directed 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' on the back of a successful career in commercials, Jennings isn't exactly a newcomer. But 'Son of Rambow' is his first script, and that's why Jennings gets a Foreman nod. Variety`The Curious Case of Benjamin Button` Film News: Oscar nominees: Best Picture -- 'Button' is thematically gripping, viscerally poignant, visually stunning storytelling with a literary backbone in the way of an F. Scott Fitzgerald short story that will appeal to the bookish snob in Academy members. VarietyJudy Cramer (`Mamma Mia`) Film News: Carl Foreman Award -- Whatever the contribution of first-time writer Catherine Johnson and debut director Phyllida Lloyd in creating the singin'-in-the-aisles phenomenon that is 'Mamma Mia!,' it's a triumph above all for Craymer. VarietyStephen Daldry (`The Reader`) Film News: Oscar nominees: Director -- This is Daldry's third nomination, so it's obvious the Academy is a big fan of his work. That 'The Reader' defied conventional wisdom to do so well overall in the nominations bodes well for a groundswell that could lift Daldry to the top this time. Variety`Reader` prevails in Oscar nominations Film News: 'The Dark Knight,' not chosen for best picture -- Academy members chose a Holocaust-related movie over a comicbook story? When examined in that context, the voters' choice of 'The Reader' over 'The Dark Knight' in the best picture category for the Academy Awards isn't such a surprise. Variety`Slumdog Millionaire` Film News: Oscar nominees: Best Picture -- So far, 'Slumdog' has snapped up four Golden Globes, including top drama, plus a bevy of other high-profile prizes such as top pic from the National Board of Review. Maybe not: Some critics contend that it's all style over substance. For while 'Slumdog' is a brilliant spectacle of cinematography in the way of sights, sounds and color, the somewhat fantastical romantic subplot between Dev Patel and Freida Pinto requires a significant suspension of disbelief. Critical quote: 'A gaudy, gorgeous rush of color, sound and motion, the latest from the British shape-shifter Danny Boyle, doesn't travel through the lower depths, it giddily bounces from one horror to the next,' says Manohla Dargis of the new york Times. VarietyBAFTA Rising Star Award Film News: Cera and Clarke lead nomination pack -- The nominees for BAFTA's Orange Rising Star Award are chosen by an industry jury, but a public vote picks the winner. In its three-year history, that has meant the prize has always gone to the nominee who starred in the highest-grossing multiplex movie. Variety1 2 3 4 5 |
