Has anyone seen Boiling Point? I absolutely love Stephen Graham, I think he’s one of the best actors in the world today. But the trailer looked a bit meh.

Yes I’ve seen it twice now, it’s brilliant.

I actually went to the live Q+A (attended by Graham and director Philip Barantini) for it in Liverpool the other night.

Got a photo with Graham that has made my year already! 😬

Well, one week into 2022 and my (very old!) prediction about Maxine Peake being a BAFTA contender for Anne is looking very good right now.

Tough series to watch in general, but she is fantastic throughout.

Probably doesn’t have much of a chance but it would be nice to see Rita Tushingham turn up here for Ridley Road.

Another Liverpool star too!

As a Liverpool native, I would LOVE to see Jodie Comer and Stephen Graham both land BAFTA film nods. Then, they can follow that up with TV nods for Help next year 😛

I lost interest in them after they overlooked Help in various categories.

Free Guy was not her first movie. I’d post it if it weren’t for spoilers.

Her first film is actually England is Mine (2017). But she’s barely in it 😝

All three episodes will air across three days from 3rd January.

Hopefully Stephen Merchant can land a Best Actor nod in 2023!

Maybe Line of Duty will get nominated for drama series after all…

Help and The Beatles: Get Back are way too low on that list. Easily Top 10 for me (heck, even top 3!).

I wondered where I could recognise Christopher Edward’s stepmother’s voice from and saw that it was Kathryn Hunter in the credits. She’s racking up those high-profile cameos at the moment!

Does the UK have any major critic groups that will announce nominations soon or is it just ones from the US?

Yeah, unfortunately just London. Would love to see a regional critics group in the UK (Liverpool, Manchester, Newcastle, etc.) 😛

I’m also of the opinion that Jodie’s performance here is probably ranked third in her career behind Killing Eve and Help.

I’m just gutted that her work isn’t getting as much attention as other British starlets Florence Pugh and Vanessa Kirby did when their performances got acknowledged by the Academy. They’re both terrific actresses, but I’d take Jodie over both of them any day.
