I’m currently sat in the media centre at BAFTA, trying to warm up after spending several hours in the freezing cold. Still, it was all worth it as I managed to snag some great interviews with the nominees and attendees. To make it even more worthwhile, I’ll be posting the interviews as soon as they’re [...]

Eddie Redmayne is an absolute gent. I got to meet him when I interviewed him for My Week with Marilyn a few months ago and I could have chatted with him all day long. He’s such a nice guy, humble and is one of Britain’s best upcoming actors. He’s currently up for the Rising Star [...]

When we look at the names up for Best Film at this year’s BAFTA awards what is evident and of particular interest is the absence of a clear favourite. Last year The King’s Speech picked up an unusual amount of momentum and there was no huge surprise when the envelopes were opened and Messrs Firth [...]
