I finally managed to find the nomination list. The BAFTA website is like a maze ! Here’sthe full list of nominees, I’m just going to comment on a few.
BEST ENTERTAINMENT PERFORMANCE:
Stephen Fry – Qi
Harry Hill – Harry Hill’s TV Burp
Ant & Dec – I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! Jonathan Ross – Friday Night with Jonathan Ross
How Harry Hill has managed to gain yet another BAFTA nod is beyond me. I genuinely don’t see the attraction in him. What’s funny about making faces and gurning at the camera ? I’d find that entertaining if I was a three year old. The only person less amusing that him is Al Murray, and don’t get me started on him.. And sorry, Ant & Dec ? how is it those two geordie goons get nominated but the likes of Dara O’Brien and Simon Amstell don’t ? Preposterious. Also, wonder why Alan Davies wasn’t included in the Qi nom ? He definitely deserves it !
Anyway, I think Wossy should win. Bless his floppy hair. On top of being a very likable and witty host, there are never any awkward moments in his interviews, and he always puts his guests at ease, which makes enjoyable viewing. Plus he deserves an award after that whole Sachs overreaction.
BEST COMEDY PERFORMANCE
Rob Brydon - Gavin & Stacey
Sharon Horgan – Pulling
David Mitchell – Peep Show Claire Skinner – Outnumbered
I must be the only person in Britain to have not seen Gavin & Stacey. I haven’t seen Outnumbered either. But I have seen Pulling, and my god do I regret it ! It’s an awful programme ! And why oh why hasn’t Robert Webb got a nomination for Peep Show ? I mean, I love David Mitchell, but I LOVE Robert Webb. Robert Webb is genius. Robert Webb is wonderful. Sadly, Robert Webb is married. Funny, him being married is what discourages me, not the fact that he’s famous and far too old for me..
COMEDY PROGRAMME Harry and Paul
The Peter Serafinowicz Show
Star Stories
That Mitchell and Webb Look
I’m REALLY ticked off at these nominations. The Peter Serafinowicz Show is not funny (although he does a MEAN Terry Wogan impression!), Harry Enfield and Paul Whatshisname lost their appeal a while ago now, and whoever casts Star Stories should be dragged out into the street and shot. I mean, hello !!! Mock the Week ? 8 out of 10 Cats ? Argumental ? Never Mind The Buzzcocks ? Why are all the good comedy programmes being left out ? Not even Mitchell&Webb can compare to Frankie Boyle’s comedy. Exhibit A:
Frankie Boyle is legend. Word.
Oh, and I bet you anything Horne & Corden will be in this catagory next year. Deservedly ? I think not.
Anyway, on a more serious note, I’m really glad that A Boy Called Alex has been nominated in the Best Single Documentary catagory. If you’ve not seen it, you absolutely must. I’m hoping it wins the award for two reasons: 1) it’ll warrant a second viewing on Channel 4 and 2) it’ll warrant a follow- up documentary! I hear Alex Stobbs has very recently conducted the St. Matthew Passion (which is three hours long!!) with the same choir he worked with on the Magnificat. Wonder if they documented that too ? Either way, this documentary was one of the best I’d ever seen, and Alex is a truly inspirational person.
