Dear Gossips,

BAFTA nominations were announced today and the major snub is a major surprise:

Sally Hawkins was totally shut out. And she’s British! They replaced her with the Jolie in the Best Actress category, along with 2 nods for Kate Winslet in both The Reader and Revolutionary Road, and rounded o the category out with Kristin Scott Thomas in I’ve Loved You So Long which, if you haven’t seen yet, will cut you off at the knees. She is magnificent. And as such, Anne Hathaway wasn’t invited to the party either.

Instead, BAFTA wanted the Brange. Like Kate Winslet, Brad Pitt also received 2 nominations and it will be Slumdog vs Benjamin Button with each film earning 11.

Disappointed?

Well…they did put the name of their major sponsor in the official TITLE of the event. It’s actually called the Orange British Academy Film Awards. The equivalent in North America would like saying the Verizon Academy Awards. Or the Verizon Oscars.

So Pitt Porn is going to England. February 8th hosted by Jonathan Ross.

Thursday – new posts all day.

Yours in gossip,

Lainey
