I'm so pissed, so pissed!! She didn't get a BAFTA nomination for Great Expectations. There is a conspiracy against Gillian. Bastards!!
Great Expectations got totally overlooked. Probably because it was not exactly by the book, fu*king purists! Major fail, BAFTA, major fail!
I've been reading comments on Twitter. People are just appalled.

For anyone wanting to read a list of nominations: http://www.bafta.org/television/awards/ ... 56,BA.html
And... http://m.deadline.com/2012/04/bafta-tv- ... lands-nod/

Early posts sprinkled throughout the InterWebs express surprise & shock that Great Expectations received zero nominations. We now know that the BAFTA Craft awards are a separate category - here, at least, the mini series received 7 noms. Doesn't help GA or her fellow actors... But imagine how the producers feel, with no acting nods for laudatory performances! A fail all around on the part of the nomination committee.

Once opinion pieces are published re the choice of noms, we can include them here to see if any possible logic entered into the decision making.

Since GA has been nominated previously, she may still be asked to present...

wth?!? are you kidding me?!?
Gillian is not nominated?? neither GE?? really???
this has to be conspiracy, I agree with GD

I don't know how many of you watch british tv but that list makes me doubt they watched half of the shows... I don't agree with most of them... a lot of people/shows should be there and aren't...

Yes, I agree with you. Lots of people are shocked that Sherlock Holmes got overlooked too. Anyway, people are very pissed. Lots of them wonder if the panel actually watched Great Expectations.

This gif describes my feelings perfectly.

[Queequeg0925]

It describes my feelings too!
picture of the day!!! lol

I suppose that I won't bother to watch the BAFTA Awards on BBC America, then. Or, will GA be at least presenting an award?

[Agent Skulder]

I'm not exactly sure when the presenters are announced, but with the awards in 4 weeks it should be soon... If nothing else, the women need time to select & tailor their frocks!

[LondonLady]

LOL, Agent Skulder! Not to mention, lose those few extra pounds they put on at Christmas!

[GillyDreamer78]

There were Movie BAFTAs in February so I'm sure they lost those few extra pounds they put on at Christmas already then.
Also, I think Gillian doesn't have to loose weight, she looks good just the way she is at the moment.

[LondonLady]

If Gillian lost a few pounds, she would disappear! LOL! I wasn't referring to her.

I really hope that´s not the final list, there´s a lot of people missing (apart from Gillian)... if this is it, it´s going to suck compared to last year´s...

still going to watch it though... is anyone else watching it too??

[Queequeg0925]

The Crimson Petal and the White didn´t win... Best Mini Series went to This is England 88

Seriously?!?

[GillyDreamer78]

The Crimson Petal and the White didn´t win...

And neither did Romola Garai. It's bad enough that GE didn't get a single nominaton but I really thought "The Crimson Petal..." would win for the best mini series. As I said, this year's TV BAFTAs are total disaster.
