I just love them so much here.

"I've presented Best Supporting Actor to my dear friend Simon Russell Beale who played my dad at the National in Major Barbara. And now I shall get back on top of my Christmas tree. Thank you. #bifa2017 British Indedendent Film Awards" By Hayley Atwell. As always, beautiful hayley 👏😍❤️

OPENING DOORS OPENING MINDS! Had to squeeze in some hours on the TuTchT drawing board to give Femi Oguns the kind of “galactic impact” artistic treatment his clients get on the regular. hahaha. Slightly tongue-in-cheek but wholly sincere at heart. I love this guy. Mr. Oguns was awarded the prestigious Special Jury Prize from the British Independent Film Awards earlier this week for his creation of London’s Identity School of Acting and Identity Agency Group. I’ve tried to regularly throw shine on Identity and Mr. Oguns’ work since I first came across them 5 or 6 years ago. Mr. Oguns saw an extreme lack of diversity on the British screens, stages, and among the ranks of young actors being admitted into the UK’s prestigious acting schools. So… he started his own. The rest is history. Nights like tonight when his students/clients are simultaneously opening in some of the biggest projects of the year (Star Wars & “Belleville” in London’s West End) show us just how vast this history is becoming!

[...] “God’s Own Country” was the big winner at the British Indepdendent Film Awards on Sunday, winning best British independent film, best actor for Josh O’Connor, and best debut screenwiter for Francis Lee, who also directed the England-set gay romance. [...] The British independent movie industry turned out in force, although the snow that had blanketed parts of Britain overnight [...] had Lee telling the crowd he needed digging out of his home in Yorkshire, northern England, to make the bash.
