Synopsis

From the director of Calendar Girls comes this extraordinary story based on true events. Dagenham, England 1968. At the town’s local Ford automobile plant, Rita O’Grady (Golden Globe® winner Sally Hawkins) is one of only 187 women in a workforce of 55,000 men. Facing overwhelming opposition in this “man’s world,” Rita rallies her female co-workers to fight for equal pay — a stand that defies the corporate status quo, threatens her marriage, and ultimately exacts a tragic toll. But with the support of the shop’s steward (Golden Globe® winner Bob Hoskins) and the government’s Employment Secretary (two-time Golden Globe® winner Miranda Richardson), the women become the sensation of the nation — and the catalyst for a profound turning point in time.

Who would think a movie about an autoworkers strike could be so entertaining and even moving? Made in Dagenham is simply brilliant. Rita O'Grady (Sally Hawkins, Happy-Go-Lucky) finds herself unexpectedly thrust into the limelight when she becomes the leader of a strike by the women who sew the upholstery for a Ford factory in Dagenham, England--a strike that, thanks largely to the efforts of management and unions alike to dismiss it, turns into a struggle over equal pay for women. But because of a smart and subtle screenplay, understated direction, and above all outstanding performances by the entire cast--also featuring Rosamund Pike (An Education), Miranda Richardson (The Crying Game), and Bob Hoskins (Who Framed Roger Rabbit)--Made in Dagenham never stops being about people, even as its political scope widens. Every step is grounded in human relationships, among the striking women, between Rita and her husband, between the wife of a factory manager and a floor worker. The movie skillfully balances issues of class and gender equality and makes you care deeply about them--and about these people struggling for basic fairness. And it's funny, sad, and genuinely stirring. Simply a marvelous movie, not to be missed. --Bret Fetzer

Colin Firth and 'The King's Speech' leads with 14 Bafta Nominations!!!

Colin Firth, who just won a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Motion Picture for his award winning film, The King's Speech this past Sunday (January 16th) gets another nomination for Leading Actor (which he won last year for A Single Man) and a total of 14 nominations for TKS (including Best Film, Director, and Actor) at the 2011 BAFTA, which was announced by P&P's Talulah Riley and Dominic Cooper this morning.

While Rosamund Pike and Carey Mulligan made the BAFTA Longlist, neither one made it to the shortlist of the final BAFTA nominations (and it seems Miss Pike Disappointed By Bafta Choices). Rosamund Pike's Made In Dagenham co-star Miranda Richardson and the film scored 4 nominations though. Talulah Riley's Inception film garnered 9 nominations. Meanwhile Lost In Austen's Gemma Arterton is nominated for Orange Wednesdays Rising Award. Read this article from BBC News about Baftas 2011: surprises and sure things, it mentioned Carey Mulligan's exclusion in the nomination as well as Sally Hawkins. Interesting no mention of RP, Paul Giamatti (who just won a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Comedy/Musical this past Sunday), and Barney's Version's snubbed after lots of mentions in the longlist...

Watch Dominic Cooper and Talulah Riley announce the nominations for the 2011 Orange British Academy Film Awards.
The nominations announcement was held at BAFTA's headquarters in Piccadilly. The introduction was made by Academy Chairman Tim Corrie and the nominees were announced by actor Dominic Cooper and actress Talulah Riley.
Updated 2/1/10
Here's another video of Talulah Riley and Dominic Cooper being interviewed by BBC News... Talulah Riley: 'Colin Firth is a national treasure.' (Thanks to Charleybrown for the video link)

Rosamund Pike, Carey Mulligan, and Colin Firth made the BAFTA longlist

The British Academy Film Awards (BAFTA) just announced their LONGLIST of possible nominees for the 2011 BAFTA and the shortlist and final nominations will be announced on January 18th.

BAFTA will take place on Sunday 13 February 2011.

Our P&P actors: Rosamund Pike, Carey Mulligan, and Colin Firth made the BAFTA Longlist along with their films such as RP's Barney's Version and Made In Dagenham, CM's Never Let Me Go, and CF's The King's Speech. As usual, BAFTA snubbed Keira Knightley once again for her wonderful role in Never Let Me Go, like they snubbed her previously in Pirates/P&P/The Duchess films...and yet Gemma Arterton (no pun intended) made the BAFTA longlist for her two films less popular or well-known than her Prince of Persia (which I loved and enjoyed) and Keira's NLMG films combine. Not too mention, her  NLMG co-stars Carey and Andrew Garfield made the longlist each, but no Keira (not even in her best Oscar/Golden Globe nominated role in P&P gets her any nomination or recognition in her own country's big award show)...Interesting BAFTA! What's up with the frequent snub on KK? They must not like her...but even in her best performances (Elizabeth Bennet in Pride & Prejudice and Georgiana in The Duchess) she still get snubbed...how odd! Her acting has been solid and great since P&P movie...

An interesting old Joe Wright interview relating to BAFTA snub of KK during P&P era...
“Wright caused a stir last year by berating Bafta’s British voters, who denied Knightley a best-actress nomination for playing Elizabeth Bennet. As voters for the Oscars and Golden Globes saw fit to nominate her, the snub seemed doubly harsh, and may have owed something to her celebrity and prominence in gossip magazines. But, after Atonement, it’s unlikely she will need Wright to spring to her defence again.

“It isn’t her fault,” Wright protests. “I know some actors court the media, and Keira doesn’t. She’s incredibly beautiful, so she gets to be the face of Chanel, and that’s great for a few bob, so good luck to her. But when she’s making a film, that’s all she cares about.”
- Joe Wright interview with David Gritten of The Telegraph (August 2007).

Anyway, here are the BAFTA longlist featuring Rosamund Pike, Carey Mulligan, Colin Firth, Sally Hawkins, Gemma Arterton and their films and co-stars...Best of luck to them all (though I'm sure CF and The King's Speech will obviously get lots of nominations for sure)!

In Theaters Today: Made In Dagenham

Now showing in select theaters today (New York and Los Angeles), Made In Dagenham starring , Miranda Richardson, and Bob Hoskins, and Rosamund Pike. It'll expand in more U.S. theaters nationwide starting November 24th and December 17th. Find theater listing here!

Here's the synopsis...
Based on a true story, Made in Dagenham portrays a decisive moment in that decade of upheaval, when the fight for equal rights and pay was led – unexpectedly – by ordinary working-class women with one foot in the kitchen, one foot on the factory floor, and ears glued to the pop coming over the radio and telly from far-off London (19 kilometers and a world away). It‟s a vintage “girl power” tale.
Rosamund Pike, Sally Hawkins, and co-stars and the film itself, Made In Dagenham had been getting rave reviews!

Check out and Read The Film Stage's (who gave it an A!)
Rosamund Pike plays Lisa, an educated housewife who is tired of being thought a fool by her husband. While her role in the piece is small, Pike makes the best of every frame, adding to her already glowing reputation as a tender and talented actress.
