I was disappointed that Judi Dench got nothing and Volver failed to win a prize. Strange that Casino Royale got so little recognition.
Maybe the award to Abigail Breslin for her role in 'Little Miss Sunshine' wasn't quite so predictable, but it certainly well deserved - I liked this film greatly.
Probably more worrying is that fact that very few 'British' films are truly British - few are filmed in Britain, and even when the actors are British, the director is British and it is filmed in Britain the profits usually go across the Atlantic to America.
There are quite a few truly British films produced, but many fail to get a showing - because distribution is held in a small number of (American) hands.
