Oscar Nominations Reactions (via Awards Daily)...
“Currently celebrating with my colleagues three feet above the ground. Not used to this much joy, or this much champagne at this hour. – COLIN FIRTH – ACTOR IN A LEADING ROLE – THE KING’S SPEECH

“I am absolutely overwhelmed by the twelve Oscar nominations for ‘The King’s Speech’. I am so grateful to the Academy. I am incredibly proud of my extraordinary cast and crew. This is a day I will remember for the rest of my life.” – TOM HOOPER – DIRECTOR – THE KING’S SPEECH


“As an Australian, I’m as excited to be recognized and honored by the Academy as my character must have been when his London speech therapy business flourished when the future King Of England happened to pop by one day. This story has struck such a rich resonant chord with audiences of all ages, which is very exciting — to have your work honored by your industry peers is even better.” – GEOFFREY RUSH – ACTOR IN A SUPPORTING ROLE – THE KING’S SPEECH

“It is a great honor to have my work noticed again by the Academy and I am very grateful.
Thank you. Writing the music for The King’s Speech has been a delight and I thank our brilliant director, Tom Hooper, for offering us and the audience such an inspiring and beautiful film.

Colin Firth and 'The King's Speech' leads with 14 Bafta Nominations!!!

Colin Firth, who just won a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Motion Picture for his award winning film, The King's Speech this past Sunday (January 16th) gets another nomination for Leading Actor (which he won last year for A Single Man) and a total of 14 nominations for TKS (including Best Film, Director, and Actor) at the 2011 BAFTA, which was announced by P&P's Talulah Riley and Dominic Cooper this morning.

While Rosamund Pike and Carey Mulligan made the BAFTA Longlist, neither one made it to the shortlist of the final BAFTA nominations (and it seems Miss Pike Disappointed By Bafta Choices). Rosamund Pike's Made In Dagenham co-star Miranda Richardson and the film scored 4 nominations though. Talulah Riley's Inception film garnered 9 nominations. Meanwhile Lost In Austen's Gemma Arterton is nominated for Orange Wednesdays Rising Award. Read this article from BBC News about Baftas 2011: surprises and sure things, it mentioned Carey Mulligan's exclusion in the nomination as well as Sally Hawkins. Interesting no mention of RP, Paul Giamatti (who just won a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Comedy/Musical this past Sunday), and Barney's Version's snubbed after lots of mentions in the longlist...

Watch Dominic Cooper and Talulah Riley announce the nominations for the 2011 Orange British Academy Film Awards.

The nominations announcement was held at BAFTA's headquarters in Piccadilly. The introduction was made by Academy Chairman Tim Corrie and the nominees were announced by actor Dominic Cooper and actress Talulah Riley.

Updated 2/1/10
Here's another video of Talulah Riley and Dominic Cooper being interviewed by BBC News... Talulah Riley: 'Colin Firth is a national treasure.' (Thanks to Charleybrown for the video link)

Rosamund Pike, Carey Mulligan, and Colin Firth made the BAFTA longlist

The British Academy Film Awards (BAFTA) just announced their LONGLIST of possible nominees for the 2011 BAFTA and the shortlist and final nominations will be announced on January 18th.

BAFTA will take place on Sunday 13 February 2011.

Our P&P actors: Rosamund Pike, Carey Mulligan, and Colin Firth made the BAFTA Longlist along with their films such as RP's Barney's Version and Made In Dagenham, CM's Never Let Me Go, and CF's The King's Speech. As usual, BAFTA snubbed Keira Knightley once again for her wonderful role in Never Let Me Go, like they snubbed her previously in Pirates/P&P/The Duchess films...and yet Gemma Arterton (no pun intended) made the BAFTA longlist for her two films less popular or well-known than her Prince of Persia (which I loved and enjoyed) and Keira's NLMG films combine. Not too mention, her  NLMG co-stars Carey and Andrew Garfield made the longlist each, but no Keira (not even in her best Oscar/Golden Globe nominated role in P&P gets her any nomination or recognition in her own country's big award show)...Interesting BAFTA! What's up with the frequent snub on KK? They must not like her...but even in her best performances (Elizabeth Bennet in Pride & Prejudice and Georgiana in The Duchess) she still get snubbed...how odd! Her acting has been solid and great since P&P movie...

An interesting old Joe Wright interview relating to BAFTA snub of KK during P&P era...

“Wright caused a stir last year by berating Bafta’s British voters, who denied Knightley a best-actress nomination for playing Elizabeth Bennet. As voters for the Oscars and Golden Globes saw fit to nominate her, the snub seemed doubly harsh, and may have owed something to her celebrity and prominence in gossip magazines. But, after Atonement, it’s unlikely she will need Wright to spring to her defence again.

“It isn’t her fault,” Wright protests. “I know some actors court the media, and Keira doesn’t. She’s incredibly beautiful, so she gets to be the face of Chanel, and that’s great for a few bob, so good luck to her. But when she’s making a film, that’s all she cares about.”

- Joe Wright interview with David Gritten of The Telegraph (August 2007).

Anyway, here are the BAFTA longlist featuring Rosamund Pike, Carey Mulligan, Colin Firth, Sally Hawkins, Gemma Arterton and their films and co-stars...Best of luck to them all (though I'm sure CF and The King's Speech will obviously get lots of nominations for sure)!

Synopsis

Acclaimed filmmaker Christopher Nolan directs an international cast in this sci-fi actioner that travels around the globe and into the world of dreams. Dom Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) is the best there is at extraction: stealing valuable secrets inside the subconscious during the mind’s vulnerable dream state. His skill has made him a coveted player in industrial espionage but also has made him a fugitive and cost him dearly. Now he may get a second chance if he can do the impossible: inception, planting an idea rather than stealing one. If they succeed, Cobb and his team could pull off the perfect crime. But no planning or expertise can prepare them for a dangerous enemy that seems to predict their every move. An enemy only Cobb could have seen coming.

Inception remains at #1 and keeps dream alive in its 3rd weekend on top at the box-office

For the third weekend in a row, Talulah Riley's new film Inception, which she co-starred with Leonardo DiCaprio, Marion Cotillard, Ellen Page, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt to name a few (and has a very small role as Blonde) is #1 again with an estimated $27.5 million gross, according to Box-office Mojo and moved up its domestic box-office total to $193.3 million (surpassing its production budget of $160 million with a worldwide total of $363.3 million) in 17 days!

Speaking of Inception, as I previously mentioned here in last week's post, I saw this movie about a week or two ago. You can read my Film Review: Inception, which I just wrote earlier today. Check it out, if you've seen this film (of course), and are interested in reading of what I think about it and what I had to say about Talulah Riley's small role in the film.

Inception tops U.S. box-office again with $43.5 Million

Another great weekend for Talulah Riley's new film Inception, which she co-starred with Leonardo DiCaprio, Marion Cotillard, Ellen Page, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt to name a few (and has a very small role as Blonde) is #1 again with an estimated $43.5 million (final total will be released on Monday afternoon) at this weekend's box-office beating the opening of Angelina Jolie's new released film, "Salt," which opened to a strong but $7 million below last week's #1, Inception, retaining its #1 title and lead. Inception also made an impressive $13 million last Friday, while Salt made $12 M. Inception, according to Box Office Mojo, now has an estimated 10-day total of $143,663,000 domestic gross, while in foreign it grossed a total of $84 M...with a worldwide total of $227,663,000.

Have you seen this movie? I saw this movie last week in the movie theater and I thought it was great. I will post my review very soon. Unfortunately, Talulah Riley only appeared very briefly, like a few quick scenes...but she was in a great scene with her co-star, hotties Leo DiCaprio and Cillian Murphy (who also co-starred with Keira Knightley in The Edge of Love) and another with Ken Watanabe as well as passing by Ellen Page and Joseph Gordon-Levitt! So, not too bad for Talulah to be a part of this film even for a few brief scenes, lol. Not too mention, she got to be in a movie with Leo and it's #1 for two weeks in a row now. Yay for Talulah! :)

Inception #1 movie at this weekend's box-office with $60+ Million

Great news at this weekend's box-office result for Talulah Riley's new film Inception, where she has a small role as Blonde. It not only debuts strong at #1, it also, easily breaks through with $60.4 million (estimated...final result will be released Monday afternoon!) gross for a non-sequel/non-remake/original released film this summer!!! Yay, congrats to Talulah Riley and her Inception co-stars and crew!!! I haven't seen this yet, but I'm going to sometime early this week. This film has been in my must-see list of films this year. Not too mention, I love Leonardo DiCaprio and it's awesome that Talulah is on this film too whether her role is small or cameo and the rest of the ensemble cast including Marion Cotillard and Cillian Murphy are pretty good actors too. Now, she has a box-office hit after P&P movie. Speaking of Talulah and Leo DiCaprio, check out this related article of Talulah Riley: I have crush on Leo.

Anyway, back to Inception's first opening weekend triumph, here's an article from Box Office Mojo:

Easily the most anticipated non-sequel release of the summer, Inception breaks in to approximately 6,700 screens at 3,792 theaters this weekend (including a record IMAX release of 197 venues). The Sorcerer's Apprentice casts its spell at 3,504 locations, though its unimpressive grosses on Wednesday and Thursday don't bode well for its weekend prospects, while musical Standing Ovation counter-programs with a barely-nationwide 623-theater launch.

Inception grossed $3 million in its midnight start, which is slightly below Star Trek ($4 million) and Avatar ($3.5 million). Inception is tracking ahead of both of those movies in Box Office Mojo's reader polling, though, as 68.9 percent voted to see Inception on its opening weekend. In fact, this is the best percentage for any non-sequel since the start of Box Office Mojo's polling nearly six years ago, trailing only the likes of The Dark Knight (76.9 percent) and Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (72 percent). Now, Inception hits a bullseye with readers' interests, but it is clear that the movie is poised for a big opening.
