The BAFTA's

The BAFTA's.

I recently watched the BAFTA's and found some of the award winners undeserving. However some awards were spot on.

I have a passion for acting and aspire to be an actor one day, hopefully winning a BAFTA. My role models are such brilliant actors like: Christoph Waltz, Daniel Day Lewis, Tom Hanks and many more.

This is why I am happy that Christoph Waltz won the award for his role in Django Unchained. He is a phenomenal actor who manages to take a sinister character and twist it to contain elements of humour and tension, which adds to the sinister characteristic.

The sheer volume to which Daniel Day Lewis prepares for a character is brilliant. He chooses his parts very carefully and will live as that part for a huge amount of time just so that he can feel as though he is that person, this leads to a superb performance in every film and I am happy he won the award for Best Actor.

However, when it comes to directors, I am disappointed that Ben Affleck won the award for Best Director. He went off the rails for such a long time and appeared in some terrible films, he even ruined one of my favourite films - 'Pearl Harbour.' However he makes one good film - Argo - and all of a sudden he is worthy of a BAFTA, when some of the other directors there such as Quentin Tarantino and Ang Lee have gone on to make some magnificent films. Ang Lee directed the smash hit - Brokeback mountain. And while it isn't my kind of film, it has been classed as one of the best directorial displays in the world. Ang Lee won the Bafta for this film. Quentin Tarantino has directed so many classic films, (which he has also written), like Pulp Fiction and Inglorius Basterds. Yet Ben Affleck claims the accolade for a film that refuses to carry the same emotional depth as Django and French film - Amour - which, for its sheer emotional baggage, should have been nominated for Best Film.

Tom Hooper wasn't even nominated for the award. Although I haven't seen Les Miserables. I know people that have and they are calling it a triumph. The idea of having actors singing live makes the scene seem so real. And it is smart decisions like this which makes Tom Hooper one of the best Directors of our day. (The King's speech).

So the message of this is: Ben Affleck didn't deserve the award he was credited with, as there are so many other directors who have made better films in the last 8 months.
