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