As we reported last week, Britain’s annual BAFTA awards (honoring excellence in the film, television and video game industries) took place last night. If the outcomes there were any indication of what we might see in L.A. on March 7, Kathryn Bigelow’s going to be one happy director. Her 2009 film, The Hurt Locker, won six of the eight categories it was nominated for, including Best Film, Director and Original Screenplay.... read more
Found in: Movies, NewsAvatar, The Hurt Locker, Up in the Air, More Lead BAFTA Award Nominations
It’s easy to get caught up in all the Oscar talk and predictions swirling around on U.S. soil, but believe it or not, there are other movie-award shows out there. The British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) is an independent charity that hosts an annual awards ceremony quite similar to the Oscars.

Release Date: Dec. 4 (limited), Dec. 25 (wide) Director: Jason Reitman Writers: Sheldon Turner, Reitman (novel by Walter Kim) Starring: George Clooney, Jason Bateman, Anna Kendrick, Vera Farmiga Cinematographer: Eric Steelberg Studio/Run Time: Paramount Pictures, 109 mins. Despite some fine acting, young director’s third film is uneven and formulaic Jason Reitman has only made three feature films, but his work is already falling into familiar patterns. His first two films, Thank You for Smoking and Juno, were slickly produced, but the surface niceties were bolstered by sharp satire in the former and heartfelt emotion in the latter. His third,... read more
Found in: Movies, ReviewsWatch the Trailer for Jason Reitman's Up in the Air
The trailer for Up in the Air takes a risk, and, eh, it pulls it off pretty well. The third feature by Jason Reitman (Juno) comes from the novel by Walter Kirn about a corporate consultant who obsessively collects frequent-flier miles. Instead of trying to tackle that decidedly noncommercial premise, the trailer splices together gorgeous images, a voice-over of vaguely existential musings and fun-looking scenes with George Clooney. ... read more

With Juno, Jason Reitman struck the kind of lightning-rod success that can’t be bought. He took on the film after finding modest success with Thank You for Smoking, his debut, and by the time its run was over, he had become the man behind the word-of-mouth smash of 2007 and a surprise Oscar nominee.... read more
