When he says "our" industries he presumably, given the tone of the "article", means "British" industries. So is he saying the British music and film industries are packed with British people? What exactly is he trying to say? Since when was this under question? <BR/><BR/><BR/>"Back home our actors, directors and talented army of film makers gave Britain one of our proudest Bafta nights ever."<BR/><BR/>Besides the fact that British people winning British awards is about as surprising as Coldplay are exciting, would we really say that there was much pride to be had? He mentions actors. Only one of the four acting awards went to a Brit. Despite large numbers of exceptionally talented people in this country's unappreciated and underfunded animation industry, the UK didn't even have a nomination for best animated film (I don't think there was one produced last year). Well I suppose maybe Gordon is proud of that. I mean who wants poncey actors and cartoons (they're for kids, you know) messing up his DANNY DYER films. Not the sort of thing he wants to discuss down the pub with GUY RITCHIE. Look TITS! <BR/><BR/>Like you say, it's interesting how little interest the newspaper shows for the British film industry when it comes to writing fluff to sell papers. Come next week will they have articles about Noel Clarke? That's about as likely as them admitting that this was just an excuse to wave that flag for their own political reasons.<BR/><BR/>(Oh and I got more of a Land of Hope and Glory from the piece than Dambusters.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1930103.post-71157155472438484702009-02-10T13:29:00.000+00:002009-02-10T13:29:00.000+00:00Well, Abi kind of did become famous as a result of...Well, Abi kind of did become famous as a result of a British film...Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17694862962806131000noreply@blogger.com
