Great to see recognition for Ex-Machina, not so great to see 45 Years completely ignored. What the hell is going on here? You’d think the Brits would be positively salivating over such a film.
I liked Hardy more than I liked LEGEND but if I had to chose and as far as gangster pictures go I’d rather see him nominated than Johnny Depp.
Colman/LOBSTER great call. Should I see SUFFRAGETTE? Hm.
Gleeson wasn’t that impressive IMO. Movie was ok – nothing special although I really liked Mulligan’s performance.
a win for the ‘the lobster’. i now think this group is th best group ever. and the only group that should count ! 😉
Nice to see Tom Hardy win for a great performance in Legend.
I’m over the moon,:)))
Now, now I know why London is called “The WEST END” …well, keep on going :)))
Ex Machina – the joint least-nominated of all five Best Film nominees – wins in every single category that it was nominated for.
Every other Best Film nominee wins zero awards, except The Lobster – the most-nominated of the five – which wins just one.
Between this show of strength and Alicia Vikander’s double-win today for the film (including a LAFCA Supporting Actress award), is Ex Machina a dark horse for the season? Could Vikander cancel her own vote out in Supporting Actress with the Academy? Or will she be nominated twice?
Vikander cancel her own vote? Probably note since voters can enter both performances and their ballots be allocated to that performance with the best chances to get in. It could also means Alicia could become a double nominee if her danish girl perf is more popular in lead than supporting and her ex-machina perf manages to get in supporting.
Exciting times ahead!
