BAFTA Noms...Excuse Me While I Puke

The BAFTA noms came out today and eh......ahhhhhhhhhhh......ehhhh? Slumdog Millionaire is everwhere with 11 nods, even in the acting categories, which every agrees is not their best asset. It was as if collectively the group went, "I love this movie so let me nominate it for everything, so everyone knows I love it! I LOVE SLUMDOG! YEAH!!!" Happy-Go-Lucky was completely snubbed. No Eddie Marsan, no Mike Leigh, no Sally Hawkins. You're a British film group, shouldn't you be honoring the best of British cinema. Happy was a respected film by a highly regarded British auteur and features what many consider to be one of the best performances of the year, and you completely ignore it. Mamma Mia! got an Outstanding British Film nomination over Happy-Go-Lucky! How? That movie was bad! AHHHHHH!
