Kate Winslett had to win because LEO Won! Duh!
In just The Wire alone, it was amazing how many of the actors were darker Brits who had the voice training to do good American and Baltimore accents. The Quinn character on The Good Wife is a Brit who can do a Yorkshire accent and an American accent. She was on my show Vera with Brenda Blythleven which has just started up again. Her character got killed by the one Brit in Britain who has a pistol legally so that she could do TGW. There is a lot of traffic across the Atlantic for black actors, even though the US could do a lot better with its diversity. Isn't one of the women on The Walking Dead, Nigerian? Nigeria has good local film and TV production.
"Build Hollywood, and they will come." The City of Dreams.
Did Gleeson notice that his character was REJECTED in 2 of his nominated films? I don't know about the other one. Get you a woman (or guy), and stop being the Ginger Loser!
They do make a good couple. I'd invite them to dinner for the entertainment value alone.
I first met Boyega in Attack the Block. Never heard of the film but I had nothing better to do and I wanted to watch a Trash film. I was very pleasantly surprised. He played the whole thing straight which made his conversion from bad guy to good guy much more compelling at the end. Come on Brits! Adolphus Huxley was your guy before he moved to California! Day of the Triffids! You Brits love your SciFi!
I've got to do my write-up on The Big Short. This was a win for a currently important political and social film. The other films had better movie techniques.
Love the movie posters! Yes Fury Road was a f*ckin' awesome chase film!
I have discovered Trapped on TV, BBC, I think that it is. It is one of those cold Northern Noirs like the original The Bridge, but it is filmed in Iceland with Icelandic actors and such. The lead actor has worked in the US (and was familiar to me), he was in the first season of True Detective. I can recommend it so far. I've seen 2 episodes and it will have ten.

She's milking this Jack and Rose for all its worth. Just because she and Leo have late night phone calls after she puts her children to bed and he put his children young girlfriends and Lukas to bed doesn't mean we care if they both win in the same year.

The woman with the name that sounds like a strain of weed, Cush Jumbo. I've heard of her.

LOL! When I visited the UK I realized that while there wasn't gun crime there were a lot of hit and runs. I saw hit and run notices on virtually every major block I walked.
Isn't one of the women on The Walking Dead, Nigerian? Nigeria has good local film and TV production. She's Zimbabwean but so, so many of the big named black British actors are of Nigerian descent. Chiwetel Ejifor, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Nonso Anozie, Sophie Okonedo. I thought Michaela Coel in the UK series "Chewing Gum" was Nigerian but she's Ghanaian. I think more and more Nollywood actors are finding fame.

He did manage to pull Alicia in "Anna Karininananananana".

Awesome film. Still a good watch.

Edgar Wright was the producer and worked closely with director Joe Cornish on it. If only the US studios let Wright do what he does there would be more great films like Attack the Block and Scott Pilgrim vs. The World.

I think the thing that made people not truly embrace The Big Short was that while it was necessary to use different methods to disconstruct the lingo, it was really jumbled. It seems scattershot. I think they should've just kept the interstitials by Bourdain, et al but dropped the stock photos/music montages.
The lead actor has worked in the US (and was familiar to me), he was in the first season of True Detective.
Ólafur Darri Ólafsson. I've only seen him in The Secret Life of Walter Mitty but he stood out in his few scenes. I really like him. I have to check out Trapped.
