The Value of an Oscar — BoxOfficeQuant
This article looks in detail (with plenty of graphs) at just how much money an Oscar win may be worth for a film studio. Useful for AS Film students preparing for FM2 Section A
In the race for the 1998 Best Picture Academy Award, $15 Million was spent to promote Shakespeare in Love – and it was catapulted to victory against Saving Private Ryan, Life is Beautiful, The Thin Red Line, and Elizabeth. Since then, the advertising gauntlet has been thrown down, and the Oscar race has been infused with hundreds of millions in advertising, with an estimated $10-15 Million spent per film with multiple nominees. But is it worth the cost? How much is an Academy Award actually worth?

Baftas 2011 – The King’s Speech the clear winner
No big surprises from last night’s Baftas, with The King’s Speech winning in 7 of the 14 nominated categories and Natalie Portman deservedly getting Best Actress for Black Swan.
I was pleased to see Chris Morris awarded best debut for his superb Four Lions.

All the major nominees and winners for the 2010 film awards season | Film | guardian.co.uk
The Guardian have compiled a list of all the major awards nominees and winners. It is available on the page linked below, and also as a spreadsheet.
Here at the Datablog we’ve tracked film award nominations and winners in all the main categories, including best actor and actress, director, film and screenplay (see last years results). Those categories that have been left out such as newcomer, short film and editing have been ignored because they aren’t presented in sufficient award ceremonies to warrant a comparison.

The Oscar nominations are in
The nominations for next month’s Oscars were announced yesterday. The King’s Speech leads the pack with 12, but True Grit (10), The Social Network (8) and Inception (8) are also looking strong. Personally, I’m delighted to see Winter’s Bone and Dogtooth on the list, and hope Black Swan gets an award or two. The excellent score was declared ineligible due to its use of Tchaikovsky’s ‘Swan Lake‘, but Natalie Portman seems a certainty for Best Actress for her superb performance.
Plenty of info available online, as you might expect. The Guardian has the full list of nominees, some analysis, a couple of comment pieces from Peter Bradshaw and a photo gallery. Meanwhile, Mubi.com have Roger Ebert’s early guesses and a competition.
