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

Now confirmed on the Sitges 2009 site, Duncan Jones’ first feature ‘Moon’ has had a jolly old time in Spain winning:

• Best film
• Best screenplay
• Best actor (Sam Rockwell)
• Design Production

Jones is currently en route back to Spain this morning after presenting ‘Moon’ at the festival earlier last week with Star Sam Rockwell. Hope he’s taken a big bag to bring back the swag.

This really is a fantastic achievement for a first feature at the worlds #1 Genre film Festival, details on Sitges HERE
