Will Sharpe and Mia McKenna-Bruce, the reigning Rising Star winner, announced the BAFTA nominations yesterday. I thought Mia was like 16, but she is in fact a 27-year old married mother of one. The more you know! I don't feel as badly about thinking her outfit looks like industrial airport carpet.

The BAFTAs will be handed out on Feb. 16, and with delays in the Oscar nomination process due to the LA fires, maybe they'll change things? Sebastian Stan got a nomination, but for *The Apprentice* and not *A Different Man*, for which he won the Globe. Daniel Craig didn't make it in for *Queer*. And Saoirse Ronan and Marianne Jean-Baptiste are in Lead Actress, which means no Nicole Kidman, no Angelina, no Pam Anderson, no Amy Adams, no Fernanda Torres (who won the Globe). I'm not complaining -- I always root for Pam Anderson to squeak in there, but I've heard Marianne is *fabulous* \-- but it'll be fun to see if this appears to swing anything in a particular direction, as usually the Oscars are announced first. I remain baffled by Ariana Grande being in supporting -- I did not enjoy her performance -- and honestly, I'd be satisfied with her, Isabella Rossellini, Selena Gomez, or Jamie Lee Curtis being off the Oscar list if it meant nominating Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor in *Nickel Boys*. Sigh.
