Oscar 2015 didn’t deviate that far from the norm. Neil Patrick Harris held down the fort and despite mixed reviews – he did a decent job navigating the choppy waters that manifest when you are tasked with keeping Hollywood’s elite in check.
Friday morning brought the BAFTA nominations; the British Academy’s version of the Oscars, and the lineup of contenders didn’t deviate too far from the talent pool on the other side of the pond.
One of the most prestigious and glamorous events is currently underway and this year proves to be a very nostalgic experience, especially for filmmakers on this side of the pond. This is the first time ever that so many American directors are being feted at this year’s Cannes Film Festival which is encouraging news for the distribution arm of the industry.
