Slumdog Millionaire Wins All The BAFTAs. All Of Them.

Slumdog Millionaire Wins All The BAFTAs. All Of Them. If you believe that the BAFTAs act as a bellweather for the Oscars, then Slumdog Millionaire will win all the Oscars.
Also, the Oscars are going to be really bloody drizzly. Because that happened at the BAFTAs too. But anyway, Slumdog Millionaire was the big winner at last night's BAFTA awards, scooping Best Film, Best Director, Best Music, Best Cinematography, Best Editing and Best Adapted Screenplay. Why? Because it's principally British? No. Well, yes. A bit.
But Slumdog Millionaire wasn't the only thing to leave the BAFTAs with anything. We left with the onset of trenchfoot. Eat that, Dev Patel.

Because none of you have anything better to do than spend your weekend afternoons staring at a computer and intermittently hitting the refresh button, may we remind you that hecklerspray will be live-blogging the BAFTAs red carpet from the BAFTAs red carpet on Sunday.

And that means two things - firstly, you need to be here between 3pm and 6pm for a succession of 140-character updates on who's wearing what, who's given us the stink-eye and, most likely, how unbelievably cold we are.
And secondly, we want you to tell ...

That's right - unless something terrible happens in the interim, we'll be spending Sunday afternoon pressed against a metal railing in the cold shouting at millionaires until they talk to us. And, thanks to the wonders of modern technology, you can be there too.

Atonement Gets A Jillion BAFTA Nominations

Atonement Gets A Jillion BAFTA Nominations

With the Golden Globes cancelled and the Oscars and Grammys looking likely to go the same way, what are the biggest awards around?

That's right, the BAFTAs. And because the BAFTAs are British, it's only right that it should focus on British films. And because the only British film made in the last year was Atonement, it stands to reason that Atonement should get so many BAFTA nominations that we actually feel a little bit embarrassed for it.

Even though it's sodding Atonement, for sod's sake.
