BAFTA 2016 Predictions!

The BAFTA's will take place on February 14th at the Royal Opera House in London. I think 2016 so far has been amazing for film. We have had incredible releases such as The Revenant and Room. Not only have we seen talented directors, creative cinemaphotographers but also outstanding performances from actors such as Leonardo DiCaprio and Eddie Redmayne. As a film student the award season is certainly my favourite time of year for film, not only is a great time to watch incredible movies but it is also very inspiring. Below are my predictions for this years BAFTA awards. I have based my predictions on current winners this award season and of course my own opinion who I believe should win.

Best Film- The Revenant

Outstanding British Film- The Danish Girl

Adapted Screenplay- Room

Original Screenplay- Ex Machina

Leading Actor- Leonardo DiCaprio for The Revenant

Leading Actress- Brie Larson for Room

Supporting Actor- Christian Bale for The Big Short

Supporting Actress- Alicia Vikander for Ex Machina

Director- Alejandro G. Iñárritu for The Revenant

Me, Earl and the Dying Girl Review

This week i was fortunate enough to get preview tickets to see award winning Me, Earl and the Dying Girl. Me, Earl and the Dying Girl is about an american high schooler named Greg, who spends most of his time making parodies of classic films with his co-worker Earl. He finds his outlook forever changed after he befriends a classmate who has just been diagnosed with cancer. 

This film is incredibly different with its unique cinema photography, realist acting and raw humour. This is an Indie movie not to be missed. Warning some camera angles may make you dizzy and tissues will be needed if you call yourself an emotional human being.  

Check out the trailer below. Me and Earl and the Dying Girl will hit the big screens here in the UK on Friday 4th September.
