The Dilys Powell Award:
EXCELLENCE IN FILM
Nicolas Roeg

Expected strong showing for Tinker Tailor, but needed. Drive also did well. And glad to see The Guard getting some recognition.

But still somehow it's the only BP nom to miss Director of the Year.

I guess Tomas Alfredson wasn't British enough for them.

It won't be enough for Tinker, Tailor, though. If anything it maybe reveals the movie isn't resonating with American audiences. I would love more than almost anything for it to be nominated for Best Picture, Best Director, and/or Best Actor at the Oscars, but it just seems out of the realm of possibility at this point.
