BAFTA was the buzz word last night as the top names from the British film industry gathered to give itself a big pat on the back. Now scheduled before the Oscars, the BAFTA film awards have seemingly increased in importance and there were surprises (Man on Wire as Outstanding British Film) and the expected love for the heavy-hitters (Kate Winslet as Best Actress, Mickey Rourke as Best Actor and Danny Boyle’s Slumdog Millionaire as best everything). However, there are certain categories that had our Boxwish ears pricking up, as did some at America’s prestigious Grammy awards which also rolled out the red carpet last night. We’re talking costumes, hair/ make-up and music. Lots of music.
At Boxwish we’re all about being inspired by movies and at last night’s BAFTAs there were three categories that neatly tied in with that philosophy. Looking to film fashions, Michael...

The 2009 BAFTA Award nominees have been announced and Slumdog Millionaire, along with The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, leads the way with 11 nominations with The Dark Knight close behind with nine. However, at the top of the pile it is immediately noticeable that The Dark Knight did not get a Best Film nomination as all the usual suspects are there, but The Reader is added to the pack as one of its five nominations. Dev Patel (Slumdog Millionaire) is considered a lead actor at the BAFTAs and earns a nomination in the category while he is competing Stateside for a Supporting nom. I believe he is more of a lead actor than a supporting, but Fox Searchlight obviously sees the supporting category as the easier place to get him a nomination and has pushed him in the category as a result. Other than that, the usuals are there with Brad Pitt earning a nomination,...
