So much for the Baftas – I’d have been better off getting an early night

A show like the Baftas should “wow” us; should bring us surprises – not just forced laughter and strained smiles from jokes that landed with “the thud of a depressurised squash ball”. This isn’t to say that those who won, like Cate Blanchett for Best Actress in Tar, weren’t deserving of acclaim – their performances were incredible, the films they starred in praised by critics and general viewers alike. It was only a month ago that the media was rife with excitement at Yeoh’s Oscar nomination, due to her being the second ever Asian woman to be nominated for Best Actress.
