Awards Season 2023-24: 77th BAFTA Awards

The BAFTAs were today. They started announcing early, and I actually knew most of the winners before I left for work, but I didn’t get a chance to write them up until much later. Which gave me time to think about how things might play out in three weeks’ time. I’ll save some of that for my final Oscar predictions post, but here are the winners (and here, for reference, are the nominees). Best…

'Doctor Who star and unflinching LGBTQ+ ally David Tennant will be hosting the 2024 BAFTAs, and he’ll undoubtedly bring his “warmth, charm and mischievous wit” to the British film awards.

The actor – known for his amazing work on Good Omens, Broadchurch, Jessica Jones and Final Space – will take centre stage at London’s Royal Festival Hall for the ceremony on 18 February.

The British Academy of Film and Television Arts film awards, commonly known as the BAFTAs, have been hosted by a variety of presenters over the years, including Rebel Wilson, Richard E Grant and Graham Norton.

Tennant said he was “delighted” to have been asked to host the BAFTAs and “help celebrate the very best of this year’s films and the many brilliant people who help bring them to life”.

BAFTA chief executive Jane Millichip said the organisation was “over the moon” that Tennant would be hosting the prestigious event, promising it’ll be a “must-watch show”.

“He is deservedly beloved by British and international audiences alike,” Millichip said. “His warmth, charm and mischievous wit will make it a must-watch show.”

Tennant is, of course, renowned worldwide for his immense acting talents, winning several TV Choice Awards, BAFTAs and an Emmy over his storied career. He’s also a stalwart LGBTQ+ and trans ally.

The Doctor Who legend has worn t-shirts that proudly declared his support for trans kids, included trans and non-binary pin badges in his wardrobe during public appearances and proudly stood up in the fight for LGBTQ+ rights. He’s just been an all-round amazing supporter.

The nominations for the 77th annual awards will be announced on 18 January by Naomi Ackie, who played Whitney Houston in the biopic film I Wanna Dance With Somebody, and Barbie actor Kingsley Ben-Adir.

David Tennant will kick off the 2024 BAFTAs ceremony on Sunday 18 February, and the awards will be broadcast on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.'

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is a 2004 film directed by Michel Gondry starring Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet.

The screenplay, winner of the 2005 Oscar, is the work of Charlie Kaufman, who confirms his inclination for "psychological" and visionary films as demonstrated by other films such as Being John Malkovich, Adaptation and Confessions of a Dangerous Mind.

The film was a success with both audiences and critics and was also included in Empire magazine's list of the five hundred best films of all time at position 73.

The original title, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, was taken from a verse in the work Eloisa to Abelard (1717) by the English poet Alexander Pope (already cited in another Kaufman film, Being John Malkovich).

Joel Barish and Clementine Kruczynski meet by chance on the beach in Montauk, New York, and begin to build a relationship on the train ride to Rockville Center.

While Howard manages to get the process back to normal, Mary can no longer hide an infatuation with him and kisses him.

On Valentine's Day, Joel decides to abandon work and instead take a train to Montauk, where he meets Clementine and where the narrative hooks up to the first scene of the film.

On the morning of February 16, back in town after a night on the frozen Charles River, Joel takes Clementine to her house to get her toothbrush so she can follow him to his apartment.

At home Clementine finds a Lacuna cassette in her mail and listens to it in Joel's car; they both hear all of her criticisms about him, which makes Joel think that she is playing with her feelings.

The film's soundtrack was released by the Hollywood Records label on March 16, 2004 for the US market and on April 19, 2004 for the United Kingdom.

Awards Season 2023-24: BAFTA Nominees

The BAFTA nominees dropped this morning, and as I write this, I haven’t even looked at them. I’m not going to get too deep into my analyses – I’ll save that for my Oscar nomination prediction post, which I’ll try to have up on Saturday. To be sure, the BAFTAs have made some changes in recent years which have made them more of their own thing again – which I’m all for – so we have to weigh that…

“Cher: she’s so Early Rich! But to paraphrase Cher, “It’s better to be nouveau than no.” Cher as a superstar has an evolution that rests somewhere between the birth of the Barbie doll and the onslaught of Valley Girls. She is a money-to-burn celebrity.”

Beautiful interview with Cabaret cast member Marcia/Marty Lauter (Victor/The Emcee) for Out Magazine, published on July 31, 2024.

"Drag Race's Marcia talks Cabaret, Eddie Redmayne & viral Tonys performance (exclusive)"

Excerpts:

"In 2024, Lauter is not only playing Victor in the current Broadway revival of Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club, but they're also the understudy for Academy Award-winning actor Eddie Redmayne in his role as the Emcee. This is a big opportunity, as well as a huge responsibility, for an emerging theater performer — and Lauter is very aware of these high stakes. "The show itself has been an incredible gift. It's such a momentous revival, and it's been very talked about". Lauter tells Out in an exclusive interview. "It's been quite divisive among certain people, but it's been so incredible. More than anything, it's taught me how to use any kind of nerves and anxiety, and to channel them into something useful. Never in a million years would I have thought that I'd be doing this with Eddie Redmayne and playing [the Emcee] every once in a while."Victor is still Lauter's primary role in Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club, but the actor was scheduled to play the Emcee on three different dates throughout July and remains understudy for that character in Redmayne's absence. "It's just such a giant, very famous role," they add. "Getting to put my perspective on it and seeing people respond so positively has been very fulfilling and very affirming."

"Exciting as it is to play the Emcee as an understudy, Lauter explains that Redmayne has been very present for this production. "I think because this is the Broadway, New York City premiere of this version of Cabaret, he has so much passion and dedication for this project," Lauter says. "He's truly there all the time and never left the theater for more than a day. It's so impressive, frankly, because this role is very difficult." They continue, "There are so many drastic makeup changes, and the show is three hours long. You're singing a lot, you're yelling a lot, you're talking a lot… it's just a lot of energy. Because of the nature of the show, you're constantly engaging with people. It requires you to be very present and very energetic. I don't think he's actually ever really called out once, which is unbelievable to me, because doing the Emcee is very, very hard". YouTube essayist Kayla Says explains in a video about Cabaret that "as you're following the relationships and the journeys of these characters, you're slowly seeing aspects of the Nazi government creeping into the plot." For a while, the Kit Kat Club's patrons are able to "turn a blind eye" to the evil doings happening outside the venue. But as the show unfolds, the Emcee's outfits and overall disposition lead to a nuanced understanding of how the story progresses".

Lauter was also present at the 77th Tony Awards, which aired live on CBS on June 16. The ceremony featured a special performance of "Willkommen," the opening number of Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club, with Lauter playing Victor in the ensemble. "Luckily, the version of the number that we did at the Tony Awards was very close to what we do on stage every night, so I wasn't super nervous about messing anything up. That was good," Lauter explains. "But the rehearsal process for the Tonys can be quite strenuous. You're still doing all eight shows in the week leading up to the ceremony, and you're also getting to [the David H. Koch Theater] at 8 a.m. for camera-blocking rehearsal. You're also going to a recording studio to record the ensemble vocals, and you go back for another dress rehearsal." "The day of the Tonys is very exhausting," the actor recalls. "Broadway shows usually do a matinee that Sunday, but we didn't, so we were lucky. We just had to get up, do our dress rehearsal, go home, and come back that night. The night of your performance, the way it works, you literally get on a bus, get off the bus, do the number, leave the building immediately, and get back on the bus." Wait, so the ensemble of a Tony-nominated hit musical can't stay for the ceremony?! "We're all in our costumes and wigs and everything, which is all incredibly expensive, and we have to keep in theater," Lauter says. "We have to get dressed and get undressed in the theater. All the nominees get to sit and watch, of course. But yeah, it's kind of an unknown thing about the Tony Awards. Unless you've purchased a ticket or you're nominated, you're not in the building except for your number. But it's also kind of nice, because you get to celebrate right when you're done."

"That number, 'Willkommen,' is supposed to be the show itself," Lauter explains when asked about that performance going viral. "It can be fun at the beginning, but it has this underbelly that you can kind of sense that something isn't quite right. I mean, I think it's unfair to judge anything without seeing it in its entirety, especially in a musical, which has a narrative. You wouldn't watch the first two minutes of a movie and say, 'This is bad' or, 'This is not what it should be.'" Lauter continues, "The point of a revival is to show you something different and highlight different elements of a piece of work so you can view it from a different perspective. I think our production absolutely does that. So yeah, if people have issues with it, come see the show! Don't just watch a three-minute number. You can't really make that call unless you see the whole thing."

"When it comes to working with Redmayne, Lauter confesses to feeling some initial trepidation. "It's a very daunting thing to understudy him. You're kind of like, 'Oh, people wanted to see Eddie Redmayne, and now it's me,'" they explain. "But he's truly so generous and welcoming. After my first show, I knocked on his door because I had left my water bottle in his room. He was like, 'Oh my god, how did it go? How are you feeling? Tell me everything!'" Lauter adds, "He's so invested in all of us. The people that understudy him are myself and another actor, David Merino, who plays Lulu usually in the show. Whenever the three of us are together, he always refers to it as 'our part,' which is very sweet and very selfless of him. He's been unbelievably kind, and he wrote me the sweetest debut letter. He makes these cards and paints them. He's just the best. Eddie is so sweet."

"I'm trying to not give anything away, but our Cabaret is told from the perspective of people who are othered or marginalized. Our cast has a wide range of people with different ages, genders, races, body types, and sexualities. We kind of run the gamut of the human experience," Lauter says. "There's a song at the end of the show that Bebe Neuwirth sings, 'What Would You Do?' that is really the heart of it. When things get really bad and really scary, what are you going to do?"

The actor adds, "Our production hits on a very nuanced topic. Sometimes, even marginalized people will marginalize other people for survival. When I play Victor, for example, I'm white in real life as well. In the show, I'm also very blonde and have a beautiful bowl cut. So, amongst the cast, Victor will probably have the easiest time assimilating into [those circumstances]. The journey of the show is very different for all of us.""This show is so evocative of what's happening in the world right now," Lauter notes. "It's like a reminder to be extra conscious in your life, aware of what the people around you need, and understand that you may not be in the most dangerous position at this particular moment. But you should raise your voice and stand for the people who need help."
