Hollywood’s real bias (and other adventures in social networking)

Thu, Jan 10, 2013

What my followers on Facebook, Twitter, and Google+ saw today:
• Wow! Black and white television still No1 choice for 13,000 UK homes

• I’ve seen all these Oscar-nominated flicks except the Canadian foreign-language nom. But I still need to write many reviews of nominees. #workcutout

• #BradleyCooper in #SLP is most gratifying #Oscars nom for me. He’s SO good in unexpected ways. Not best of year, but best for him by far.

• Interesting take on Hollywood’s political tendencies… Hollywood’s Real Bias Is Conservative (But Not in the Way Liberals Often Say)

Interesting to see how loaded this slate is with films from the last month of 2012 – yeah, I know it always happens to some extent.

No love for the blockbusters, as expected. Nothing for Cabin in the Woods, though? I’d have expected at least a technical nom (on the basis that a film that isn’t trying to say Something Serious can’t get one of the big ones).

Eleven noms for Life of Pi? Wow.

The TV licencing people will never say how many households don’t have a television at all. It’s something like 300,000, and growing as people dump the things.
