Great to see the rise of the BAFTAs over the years where now the Di Caprios and Clooneys, Thurmans etc make the trip.


Remember many years ago the big presentations being made by satellite to absent stars.


Good to see Cate Blanchett win best actress as she was brilliant in Blue Jasmin. Saw it at the Ritzy.

I was a bit irritated by the lack of British in it. The Televised show is just a showcase for American and the same old prominent British Stars. Why don't we see the winners of all the other awards receive theirs? Surely the winners of Sound, Editing, Production Design are as important as Actors, Directors, Producers? And in no way is '12 Years a Slave' a better movie than 'American Hustle' imo, so looks like those voting (Academy members) were a bit partisan after all.

So agree, she is so smug! And not that great in my opinion, but that's probably because I think she's so smug and don't like her anymore!

To be honest I keep my head down during the awards season because there are too many of them. BAFTAs, Golden Globes, Oscars, Grammys, Brits and on and on and on. It's the time of year when hardly a week goes by without celebs getting awards for something or other. It's very unreal and feeds the celebrity culture. I like looking at the dresses but I don't care who wins.

It's OK as much as schloss gloss goes, but with so many films made or tweaked within a billimeter of reality, right here in the UK, they have to come surely


What is suprising is that the 'mericans turn out to let us see them , sans CGI. I mean Tom hanks looks like he's permanently CGI'd and others who I didn't even recognise were there (my son pointed out who was who after- huh really, ok !)


Gorgeous Di Caprio stands out wherever he goes, I could lick him for hours, but Brad? What's happened to Brads neck, is he beefing up again for another film. He's a hunk of something for sure


Lastly, there's something of the Village Fete about some of our British actors. I like them in most parts, but they're slightly mis matched undies and dogs on the sofas, no ?


It's part of the charm I suppose


Saint Steven was funny, he knew he was messing with their heads

I think matthew McConaughey should get that Oscar Karen. His performance was truly transforming in 'Dallas Buyers Club'. Whereas Leo was just Leo in 'Wolf of Wall Street' imo.


I think the arrival of Hollywood to the Baftas though has something to do with those Actors being en route to some big annual sales agent thing in Europe that they are contractural obliged to attend for promotion by their studios. The Baftas used to take place later but they were moved about 10 years ago to make it worth those stars attending en route. A clever move clearly.

I believe it is MIPTV. It now takes place in April but back then it was the end of February. MIPTV is an important sales through to TV vehicle for European territories, just as MIPCOM serves as a pre-cursor to Cannes and movie distribution for theatrical release within Europe.

    • Why don’t you speak to head of English at private schools? Might be able to recommend a senior student.. pity now summer hols.   Was how my friend found a tutor for both their kids - maths and science and English.. They also have some mag covering schools as well
    • What is the reason for the change in name? Just curious.
    • Why change it?  You’ve got a fantastic historic, memorable name and you want to change it for something innocuous,  meaningless and empty
    • From the school newsletter:   A New Name for Dog Kennel Hill As you know we have been discussing and consulting with stakeholders about a  name change at DKH for a while. Following engagement with staff, pupils and  families, we gathered all views on a name change for the school and after  careful consideration of the feedback, the Local Committee and the Trust have  agreed with changing the school name to Grove Primary School from  September 2025.  Over the next few months we will begin a gradual process of changing our  name on signage, our website and emails etc. We will keep you updated.  We will be looking at designing a new logo to match the new school name and  will be working closely with a graphic designer to get creative. The school  council will be actively involved in this process. We will share the results with  you as soon as a design has been agreed and confirmed. We will be creating a  new school jumper to replace the old one, once the logo has been finalised. We  will phase this in over time.  We know that this is a welcoming change for some and that there are  parents and children who will be sad about the change. However, as a school  we think it will be a positive change for our school community and we will  work together to ensure that the ethos and culture of DKH will remain!
