BAFTA 2011: Preview vs. me


Many political considerations come into play at the price of any kind. Oscar nominations for the Nobel Prize, many deemed "normal public" would like to believe that these distinctions relate to the excellence and hang on a romantic vision that merits and justice bear a relationship to another.

But these views are becoming harder and harder to hold.

A blow of eye on the 2010 outstanding British film BAFTA nominations shows two films, I really wanted to look at, I thought that I should look at because I had seen a clip on Jonathan Ross, one and two I thought best avoided at all costs, if for entirely different reasons.

For my money, Tamara Drewe was one of the best films UK released in 2010. Animated shows, evocative camera-work and a great scenario make an image charming, faithful - of how smart and surprising - the graphic novel by Posy Simmons, from which it came.

However, the great and the good of the BAFTA know more than i. Tamara Drewe could have been a very good film, but the outstanding British Film category, which implies that the image should have a little something more to win such an award of heavyweight.

All these named films have "something to their subject matter" - it's true: most is healthy returns at the box-office when they opened, at least compared to their peers appointed less and most especially when they opened to the United States. (Sources: IMDB and numbers.)

I am not cynical.

It is important to keep in the film industry is in Britain, a successful Academy Award. But it highlights how these films reaching better box-office can get pushed to the top of the list price.

At the end of account, unless an image is really worthy - like monsters of this year, supposedly made for less than $ 1 million and on a single laptop - these films with the best marketing is not to get the most attention of the judges. The current system works best for these films with the right combination of quality, marketing and at the box-office.

There is always an exception, of course. Some applications are given to films that seem worthy, often for political reasons (large ' P'), regardless of the relative merit of the candidates or political (small ' p'). In the vision of the world BAFTA, this seems to occur because the film focuses on a subject so unusually dull that the rest of the world outside his homeland, could not possibly have the slightest interest or because it deals with a theme of political correctness, which is important pro - tem.

-Of course, Sci - Fi pix with special effects romping and huge budgets marketing still inexplicably perhaps - makes it in the best Film category, if only because that they are all members of the industry. But this year, the boys of science fiction have their work cut out, because they are however interesting films of real quality.

Everyone complained, rightly so, of the State of the film industry and deplored its destiny and the future.Yet always good quality films will be out. The dark and beautiful, Biutiful starring performance haunting and elegiac 2008 winner of the Oscar Javier Bardem as a man struggling to put in order his affairs personal, mental and complex before dying, business has already acquired an enormous prestige - not only as a film not in the language English, but for Bardem as candidate for the best actor... and it has not yet been released in the United Kingdom or in America yet.

And weekend and has not obtained an appointment to the unique BAFTA for films like Tamara Drewe, who fired in a State catastrophic $18,604 in his first us * will sometimes the last of the men. My prediction is that this photo has a great future as a favorite family and all those involved with it - from its perpetually excellent Director, Stephen Frears, in all its adorable players, to its writer Moira-will be very proud and, I hope still more than success. Over time, since his fall, he did very well, thank you, and there is every reason to suspect that we can celebrate excellence for many years to come.

* Gemma Arterton has been appointed to the Orange Rising Star Award, but it is voted by the public and it is not awarded by the Academy.
