This "Small Axe thing as movies" is particularly stupid with this group, as it aired weekly on the BBC on British television.

This double dipping shit is infuriating, because they will be competing for TV awards as well later on. It's costing films a spot that could help increase their visibility and profitability.

Can't see it, imho. Right now, I think John David Washington looks like a potential spoiler to break into the top 5. Someone like Gary Oldman may be in trouble.

Even though he’s British and a top 2 or 3 contender for Best Actor..I was thinking maybe the London critics were going to snub Lindo for Best Actor and by proxy shut out D5B..so I’m pleasantly surprised he and Boseman (in Supporting Actor) got in for that movie. This might be repeated by the BAFTA’s. I think Boseman is almost a certainty to get double nominated at this point. He’s consistently popped up most places for both.

I also agree that the Small Axe stuff has been confusing. It was intended to air as a TV anthology series..not sure why it’s been competing for film awards this season..but whatever.

sirchuck23 - Lindo is British-born, yes, but he identifies as American.

From The Guardian:
But he does not really feel British any longer. “Everything I have achieved in my life has come as a result of leaving England. I could never in a trillion years have had this career in England. Never.”

He never directly says he identifies as American or British. For all we know, he identifies as both.

Making a factual statement that he could not have achieved what he did in his career if he stayed in England, does not mean he doesn't consider himself British. I've read black British actors (Like David Oyelowo) say that they had to move to America to achieve their career potential, because the opportunities didn't exist for black actors in the U.K. It's an incredibly common statement for Black British actors to make.

Not that I want to derail this thread with something so trivial, but if you read the article, I think it's quite clear...

I've read the article. It is not clear at all. Lindo himself makes no direct quote saying he does not identify as being British any longer. If he did, I'm pretty sure the writer would have put in that quote. The writer took his criticisms of Britain and editorialised that "he does not really feel British any longer". It's misleading journalism. If he wanted to accurately state if Lindo felt British or not, ask him the question directly for a "yes" or "no" answer, and get the quote.

I always say he's British because he was born and lived in the UK till he was a teenager where he and his mom moved to Canada and then to San Francisco and he's lived in the Bay Area ever since. I understand he believes he could only achieve the career he wanted in the US but I never outright heard him say he renounced his British citizenship or past. In fact while promoting Da 5 Bloods him and Spike did an interview for BAFTA Guru with film critic/historian Ashley Clark (who's British) and him and Ashley discussed his London background and also the need to tell more stories about the Windrush Generation of UK citizens.

No Olivia Colman. Come on, if she can't even get a nod with the London Film Critics. I do think she will be nominated for the Oscar - but not a threat to win.

For The Favourite, she was the Critics Favorite, but not so with The Father.

Love at least seeing diff picks.... some stuff I'm dying to see (About Endlessness, Saint Maud), stuff I've never heard of (The Mauritanian), and some really good mentions like Shaun Parkes and Bloody Nose Empty Pockets.

Idk if anyone has seen Mogul Mowgli but it's uncanny how similar it is to Sound of Metal, not nearly as good tho, but all the same an interesting one-two punch from Riz.

Really? This is a critic group after all and he’s been slaying. Being British of course helps with BAFTA and their critic groups. I’m a little more surprised Boseman made it for that film.

She was snubbed at BIFA as well. Feels like she’s just going to be filler this year.
