British talent up for Bafta prize
(from BBC News)
"Three British actors have made the shortlist for Bafta's Rising Star award recognising emerging talent. Noel Clarke [yes, Mickey from Doctor Who!] and Rebecca Hall, who is starring in Woody Allen's Vicky Christina Barcelona [sic], are nominated. Film actor Toby Kebbell is also in the running, along with Irish actor Michael Fassbender and Canadian Michael Cera."
As writer, director and star of the immensely (and surprisingly) successful Adulthood, it seems only fitting that Noel Clarke should walk away with it. Failing that, vote for Rebecca Hall, who is also excellent. Or Michael Fassbender, because he is too.
Anyway, place your vote here. The rest of the BAFTA Film Awards nominations are announced next Thursday.

Just one of many exciting Classic Who DVDs out this year. For more, look here.

I mention this primarily because, based on various sets of nominations for various gongs, it looks like these five films are emerging as the frontrunners in this year's round of awards ceremonies. That doesn't guarantee Oscar noms, of course, but it all helps.

This is dragging on much longer than I -- indeed, I think, anyone -- expected. Bloody Fox, always have to ruin everything.
