As you have probably noticed I have totally been slacking with my blog this week. That is all due to starting a new job on Monday and working full time. So I have not had much chance to review some films I have watched, and come up with any new top 10 lists. This also impacted any post relating to the 2010 BATFA Awards which took place on Sunday night.
It was all very predictable and went the way you would expect the awards to go . . . until the very end of course and “The Hurt Locker” picking up the best picture award as I was not expecting that at all.
But one thing that made me extremely happy (even though I am yet to see the film) is that Colin Firth picked up the Best Actor award! I have been a huge Colin Firth fan since seeing him in “Bridget Jones Diary” and even watched some awful films with him in haha. But very much looking forward to “A Single Man” so seeing him with the BAFTA in his hand put a big smile on my face. His speech was charming and funny as well which just added to my happiness.
Let's Go To The Movies 
I’m not convinced by the film a whole but as I mentioned in my review and my BAFTA posts Firth was brilliant and really deserved it.

I am glad Colin deserved the award and I am very much looking forward to reading your review once I see the film Andy.

I haven’t seen A Single Man but Firth is a darn good actor so I’m glad to see him get his dues. He’s great even in smaller roles such as in ‘Easy Virtue.’ He’s probably the saving grace in that film.

Great point, he has always impressed in even small roles.

I saw the film. It was good, but Colin was excellent in the movie. You should see it.
I didn’t think that all the choices were predictable. There were pleasant surprises with Carey winning and Colin.

I can’t wait to see it, but still waiting for it come out in my local cinema.
I thought it was predictable for Colin and Carey winning with it being the BAFTA’s they seem to favour British performances and films.

I also haven’t seen A Single Man yet. Been hearing really good things about his performance and hopefully it comes out on DVD soon so I can finally check it out for myself 😦 .
