Long Time Gone
You all probably are up to date already, but here is the one after last update for the In Bruges Fansite :-(
This post will update the news, the next post will be a sort of 'conclusion' - the final post will be a wait and see, depending on who wins that Best Screenplay Oscar. If In Bruges wins, that will be the last post. If not, my conclusion will be the last. BIFTA results will be added automatically to the website without an individual post, unless something really exciting happens.
First of all: YAY In Bruges won "Best Screenplay" at the BAFTAs tonight! Congratulations Martin McDonagh! He and Colin Farrell both weren't present at the ceremony, but Brendan Gleeson was.
Second: YAY, an Oscar nomination. Best Screenplay (isn't this surprising?) nomination for Martin McDonagh.
Third: Happy to tell you there is word from other people who've noticed how shamefully Focus has treated In Bruges. Emma Forrest confirms what I've said for a while here:
Emma also reprimanded distributors for the "disregard" that award-winning movie In Bruges was treated with.
"It is thrilling that In Bruges is finally getting all this recognition," she said.
"Anything good that's happening for that film is despite, not because of, the distributors, who should be absolutely ashamed of themselves.
"Not one of us can believe the disregard In Bruges has been handled with. It's a shame."
