Hi, film fans. How are you? I hope this finds you well and that you have had a wonderful weekend.

What did you watch? Did you watch anything? There is an abundance of things to dive into,

to maybe help you escape from everyday life or just transport you off to somewhere new and different.

And it's that time of year as well where the award season is kind of, you know,

getting towards that moment of revelation of who's going to pick up what.

And then also already kind of tips for films that we should be looking out for this year.

So it never really stops, to be honest, which is great for us,

which means we've got constant conversations. A couple of things just off the back of the BAF

nominations this week. Really, really chuffed, Sarsha, got a nomination for leading actress,

for the Outrun. If you are a regular listener to this show, you'll know how much we love

that film and how much

that performance, which is really connected with me. And so I'm so glad to see that she got

nominated for that. And we're really proud about the number of people that we've had on the podcast

that have been nominated, which is just kind of great to see. And so if you

check out our socials, we're going to be kind of highlighting just some of the conversations that

we've had on the show with those that are in the running for, be it Oscars, BAFTAs, Golden

Globes, they've already happened, so not this year's.

Saga Awards, all those kind of things as well. And also one who sent our best wishes to everybody out in L.A. who's been affected by the fires. There are so many creatives who are

affected and have lost their livelihood. I was chatting to someone just this week

about a composer friend of theirs who's always instruments have gone.

So we send our love and best wishes to everybody out there who's been affected by the fires.

One of the people that I was really surprised wasn't nominated in BAFTAs was James Mangold.
