The longlist for the BAFTAs has appeared – and An Education leads, being listed in 17 categories. Next best is Inglorious Basterds with 15. The Hurt Locker features on 12 lists, ahead of Avatar on 11. Notable listings include: both Clint Eastwood movies, Gran Torino and Invictus, making both the Best Film and Best Director lists, and the man himself making the Best Actor list for Gran Torino; Up is listed for both Best Film and Best Animated Film; Meryl Streep is listed twice in Best Actress for It’s Complicated and Julie & Julia; and Zachary Quinto’s turn as Spock gets him on to the Best Supporting Actor list.
The surprise loser is Nine: it’s highest profile listing is for Marion Cotillard for Best Actress…

Oh dear GOD - did you see Julie & Julia? I can't imagine you did.. I saw it on a plane. It's basically Meryl Streep doing pantomime. A quick scan of film reviews seems to have everyone else liking it, but Streep was so completely ridiculous, I just couldn't get past it. I'm sure Julia Child was eccentric, but a pantomime dame? Really?
Gran Torino on the other hand was a fantastic film!
