The Long List
Over 6000 members of the Academy vote in three rounds to decide the winners of the Orange British Academy Film Awards. The Long List is the result of Round One voting by members of the Academy. With 220 films entered this year, the first round of voting reduces the films down to fifteen in each category. Round Two voting will reduce these fifteen contenders down to the five nominations in each category.
The full list of nominations will be announced on Thursday 21 January at BAFTA Headquarters.
MOON has been nominated for:
- Best Film
- Director
- Original Screenplay
- Special Visual Effects
- Sound
- Editing
- Production Design
- Cinematography
- Music
- Leading ActorSam Rockwell (Sam Bell)
No nomination for Supporting Actor for Sam Rockwell though, what does a man have to do??
So there we go, a 2 week wait until we discover whether MOON makes it into the final nominations, fantastic showing for a debut Director so far though 🙂
That’s a nice little list of categories there!
(But yes, what’s with the lack of supporting actor??)
Fingers shall be crossed, black cats shall be hidden, ladders may be thrown from the window, Magpies will be chased until dawn, Ceremonial burnings at the stroke of midnight…and many other superstitious practices are to be carried out till news of the shortlist reaches this snowy hillock.
Good luck to all concerned! 🙂
