The point I was making was that the Oscars are discussed in depth here on the list whether or not you care about them. The fact you don't know what the BAFTA's are sort of makes my point. They are The British Oscar's. I am sure you are not alone in not knowing what they are. As far as I am aware, several UK listers have left the list. The statement I made was a general one and i still think a true one. I made it not because I wished a response to my BAFTA post on a personal level but becasue I know very well that come Oscar time, many posts will be written, if the last 5 years are anything to go by. By the way, we just had out 'Grammies' too! The Brit Awards. Of course one thing that mighht interest the US listers is that at the BAFTA's, the life time achievement award went to Warren Baetty(sp?). I had no idea he had won 12 oscars, 4 of them for acting. To be honest, I thought he was just Shirley's sister and hadn't done much since Shampoo! But I was very wrong. he has produced and directed(for which he won the other 8 Oscars.) btw, anyone know what In The Bedroom is about?(without spoiling it) I admire Sissy Spacek and will probably see this film. years ago, Aussies and Kiwi's were nowhere to be seen come BAFTA or Oscar time. They have come a long way. I am sure NZ must be proud what Peter (I keep thinking it is Walker but it isn't) won the Best Director award at the BAFTA'S. bw colin
