First thing that went through my mind when I saw Shane and Stallone sharing the stage was something I read about the action star, a hooker and a perspex shield. Wonder if Shane knows what I'm on about?

Congratulations, I've followed your films from the early days and you deserve every success. Amazing that a town once labelled as the worst place in Britain should produce such talent.
I hate to break this to you though - you can't claim to be the first Old Alleynian to win a Bafta...
Best wishes anyway. Ashley

This is what the guardian unlimited had to say about it:
"But perhaps the most heartening prize of the evening came with best British film - the recognition of Shane Meadows' This is England a pleasure to see not only because of Meadows' status as Uttoxeter scallywag made good, but also because it actually was the best British film of the year - the kind of detail that often gets forgotten amid the cultural horse-trading of award ceremonies. Also, of course, for we plebs watching at home, it helped kick off the night with one of the most inspired visual juxtapositions of recent memory, as the camera panned from a taut-faced Sylvester Stallone on-stage to an earnest Day-Lewis in the audience, and then to a beaming Meadows clambering up to collect his trophy to the strains of a glitzed-out version of the Specials' Do the Dog. In that one bracingly odd tableau, it seemed like this year's Baftas might just make the most of their own moment in the spotlight - even if you couldn't help suspecting that it wouldn't last. And then, of course - it didn't."

did anybody else feel a mad warm feeling when they said 'this is england' then follow it by punching the air and shouting 'yeeeeeeees' (just like i do when newcastle score, although to be fair i probably only did this action as a substitute to newcastles lack of goals these days) or was it just me?
i even started to well up when i saw shane walk up. then i saw sly stallones face and realised it resembled the back of my scrotum, and i calmed down a bit.
then shane did his speech and i felt compelled to punch the air and shout 'yeeeeeeeees' again. i need to get a life.

Yeah, really f*cking bad face lift....grow old gracefully and be truly beautiful man, I say....haven't seen Dog Altogether yet, but will seek it out now..was lovely to see how Paddy was genuinely made up for Shane and vice versa.....good karma..... |

Look what's splashed all across the front page of the Warp Films website at the moment: www.warpfilms.com/...and Mr Thribb... they've linked to your YouTube video too if you click on the main image and read the news write-up. Is that a picture of Javier Bardem after he's had a free copy of This Is England thrust upon him?! hahaha |
