wtf: the ‘Guardian’s list of 100 powerful people in British film has few Brits on itI’m not blaming the Guardian for this. I’m blaming Hollywood’s overwhelming dominance. From the Guardian: James Cameron is the most influential individual in UK film, according to the Guardian's inaugural Film Power 100 list. The list is released in the Guardian's Film & Music supplement today as part of a month-long season in the Guardian and Observer celebrating film. The highest-ranking Brit on the list is Christopher Nolan, at No. 6. Next is Ed Vaizey at No. 10 -- he’s the minister for culture, communications, and creative industries. The highest-ranking person who could be called a critic? Harry Knowles, at No. 53. More horror: Michael Cera ranks higher (No. 60) than the Guardian’s own critic, Peter Bradshaw (No. 65). Seriously: What the fuck? Disqus commentsblog comments powered by Disqus |
