Screenplay of the Year
Amy Jump, Alice Lowe and Steve Oram (Sightseers)
Rising Star
Ben Whishaw (Skyfall)

A public vote is what led to the travesty that is Robert Pattinson winning anything positive for Twilight. Only five awards from the UK Regional Film Critics, but would you actually want more?

  1. Pleased to see Ben Wishaw's name.
    Courageous and brilliantly executed supporting roles in Skyfall and Cloud Atlas.

    1. He's not exactly a rising star, though. He's been around for ages!

  2. That's true, brother.
    Not as well versed as you.
    Tykwer's Perfume: The Story of a Murderer is the only thing that strikes me about his work before 2012.
    Hoping that he has a decent role in the anticipated Peter Gilliam's The Zero Theorem.

    1. That was a big breakthrough for him. He was nominated for the BAFTA Rising Star in 2007, which was just after Perfume. But I suppose his star continues to rise even now.

      You should catch him in I'm Not There. Great film, and his best performance (that I've seen). Good actor. He has some fervent fans!

    If you wouldn't mind, could you vote your top 5 out there?
    Voting turnout for some movies is baffling & demands legitimacy .
    Its just a request, brother and your choice.

  5. Extremely sorry.
    They shut down the poll because of unfairly skewed results..

  6. Yeah, Pattinson's win there is laughable.

    But again we are reminded that the love for ARGO is worldwide. Amazing.
