Film School Rejects: BAFTAs Announced: What Does This Mean for Oscar?

    Josh, do your homework. Bourne Ultimatam was directed by Paul Greengrass, who happens to be BRITISH. He also hates tripods, the lousy bastard.

    I don't understand the fascination with Atonement. Is this some elaborate prank?

    Zap--

    I know Greengrass is British, I was very careful with how I phrased it. But it's not a BRITISH production. American producers, and not shot in England. Bourne is an American series, I just don't get it. Greengrass is not the main producer here either, and Liman serves as Executive Producer and was nominated for the BAFTA, not Greengrass.

    What is this fascination with the sleeper (I mean I literally fell asleep) Atonement? That movie couldn't hold a candle to There Will Be Blood, or No Country, or Hannah fucking Montana!

    1. I like the idea of Atonement being an elaborate joke. I don't get the hype otherwise.

    2. I'm not PULLING for Blanchett, I just think the Academy's love affair with her doesn't end with this nomination.

    3. The Bourne Ultimatum? Really?
