Very happy for Boyega, but really surprised because I didn’t think the UK was that enamored with “Star Wars” and voting could only be done in the UK. Perhaps it's in recognition of his incredible ascent, from indies to superstar in 4 years? Canada's a bit like that with our actors; we value the success of home productions but when someone gets huge internationally, there's a surge of appreciation for them!
I see a few posts theorizing that Cranston will pull an upset at the Oscars...I can't quite see it but wow, if so.

That has to be it. It is a very big deal for a Brit to be the lead in this huge, iconic franchise.

If he pulls that off that shows that the voting body are adamant about Leo not getting an award. To fall short when he's won virtually everything? Conspiracy!
I love all the Eddie sweaters - I want one!
I'll be highly disappointed if Taron doesn't wear it to the UK premiere. He's gotta!

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.

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!

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.
