Michel Hazanavicius's The Artist has won just about every BAFTA Award it was nominated for — and it was nominated for plenty, including Best Film, Best Director, Leading Actor (Jean Dujardin) and more. We've got the complete list of all the winners and nominees right here.
More awards. "Rodrigo García's Albert Nobbs and John Michael McDonagh's The Guard were the big winners at the 9th annual Irish Film and Television Awards (IFTAs), winning four recognitions each," reports Naman Ramachandran for Cineuropa.
New York. Miriam Bale introduces an interview for GQ: "Raquel Welch was a singing and dancing bombshell and one of the last in a long line of actresses piped through the studio's star-making system before she was thrust into 1970s New Hollywood. Thanks to that revolution, the bombshell became a trailblazer, starring in some of the more fascinating and unlikely cult hits of the era." Cinematic Goddess:...

Images of India in International Films of the Twentieth Century
By Vijaya Mulay, Seagull Books, 554 pages, Paperback Rs. 695/-
The film society movement in India must get a huge proportion of the credit not only for having created the best filmmakers outside the mainstream – those like Satyajit Ray and Shyam Benegal but also for inspiring film critics, academics and film scholars, as it continues to do today. Vijaya Mulay, the author of the book under review is one of the pioneers of the movement, having been associated with ‘Indian film culture’ in its infancy and its formative years. Beginning her engagement with cinema more than 60 years ago, Vijaya Mulay (or ‘Akka’ to her friends) has seen Satyajit Ray at work and also come into close contact with international filmmakers like Louis Malle – when he was in India in the 1960s. Malle went...

I’m looking at the schedule for the 6th annual 3rd i (as in “eye") San Francisco International South Asian Film Festival, starting this Thursday November 13. The festival kicks off Thursday evening at the Brava Theater, continuing there Friday evening, and moves to the Castro for longer programs over the weekend. I’m reviewing nine and a half of the fifteen offerings to see what I would choose if I had only one full consecutive day and night to devote to it. Don’t get me wrong—I personally think it’s worth following around all weekend, but most people have non-festival lives to lead and errands to run.
What makes both Saturday and Sunday long but rewarding slogs is the excellence of their morning films. (My thinking is, if you’re at the Castro for an 11:30Am screening, why not stay the entire day and night?) Saturday’s...
