You must have read the news already, if you've been following it a bit. But anyway, my favourite actress Cate Blanchett was nominated for an Academy Award for her performance in Tar. She did not win. I have neither seen the movie nor its competition, so sue me for that and say that I don't have sufficient information to make a judgment, but the fan in me can't help but suspect that she got robbed again, just like in 1999. Anyway, I will watch it and the other films/performances, I promise.
I stopped watching the Oscars a long time ago. It seems to have become another box ticking exercise that does no favours to the many talented people who work in the industry. It was interesting to learn that the characters in Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio (among other films) were made by Mackinnon & Saunders, a Manchester-based company who specialises in animation. I don't know why I didn't know this long before now.
