The humour and tone in this is very British so this win (against Anora or The Substance) doesn't surprise me.

And THAT is how you open an awards show.

“Thank you to Robert Harris, for this beautiful book, and for letting us turn it into Mean Girls.” Peter Straughan, BAFTA winner for Best Adapted Screenplay for CONCLAVE ❤️

Thanks to my The Revisionist's Almanac 🎥🎞️🍿 partner in crime Adam Freed MovieArcher for giving me early access to this terrific short film directed by Marcellus Cox and executive produced by Adam. A tough subject, sensitively handled. Congratulations to all involved - look out for this one!

If I had an Oscar ballot.... thank you to The Revisionist's Almanac 🎥🎞️🍿 for pulling all of this together!

Not as many "um"s and "ah"s as last time but lots of "you know"s. Had a great time chatting with The Neverending Watchlist Movie Podcast - BEFORE the KSG scandal as will hopefully be evident 😉

Jen, Sarah and I break down the recent Oscar ceremony while going off on some tangents. For added fun, have a drink every time I say "you know"...🤦‍♀️🥂

She has a The Revisionist's Almanac 🎥🎞️🍿 Oscar for this role, that definitely makes up for it 😉

Sinners continuing the newly established tradition of the fun April film that's also really good (not you, EEAAO).

You know when you hear people mention that a film has a particularly incredible scene and they'll say "when you see it, you'll know which one I mean". I have to admit, I rarely do for sure. This, however, is undeniable.

Delighted and honoured to have been involved in this project. Any guesses for what made my own Top 10?

Was a joy to talk about the wonderful Robert Redford a few weeks ago with Movie the Needle. He will be so missed.

Such fun talking to Morgan from Hall Of Film about my favourite film of all time. Episode coming soon once my incoherent babbling and gushing has been edited 😉

As a surprise to absolutely no one, I was the high person (no pun intended) on this film. But at least Tom and Dana appreciated the craft and themes I guess.

Best. Film. Ever. Even if the poll only has it at #5.

Next week, @oscarupsets & Heather Stewart will join me as we create a Top 10 Ralph Fiennes Performance Ranking ahead of 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple. We need your help! Tell us what your four favorite roles are from him & why. We’ll use some of those responses on the episode

I think I'm done with new releases for this year so here are my top four films of 2025.
