Behind

Sorry for not posting in so long.  After Katsucon I came home sick and tired, and I was pushing through a sewing project I can't show you yet, so I didn't have much to say.  Here's some randomness you can chew on until I can properly post tomorrow:

BAFTA Award Nominations

BAFTA Award nominations came out on the 8th and I haven't had the chance to post about them till now!  It's a great clue as to what will be nominated for the Oscars tomorrow:

COSTUME DESIGN
AMERICAN HUSTLE Michael Wilkinson
BEHIND THE CANDELABRA Ellen Mirojnick
THE GREAT GATSBY Catherine Martin
THE INVISIBLE WOMAN Michael O’Connor
SAVING MR. BANKS Daniel Orlandi

I'm disappointed that none of the great SF/F films this year were nominated.  I thought the Catching Fire costumes were great, and Oz was pretty good, too.  Ah, well, keeping my fingers crossed for tomorrow!
