In
this
years
yearly
BAFTA
awards,
America
was
represented
more
than
the
British
cinema.
The
four
big
ones
in
this
year's
competition
-
Brokeback
Mountain,
Capote
Crash
and
Good
Night
and
Good
Luck
were
all
from
the
other
side
of
the
Atlantic
Ocean.
The
association
being
qualitative
of
its
British
nature
should
rightly
support
the
products
of
the
British
Film
Industry,
but
it
seems
to
be
giving
in
to
Hollywood.
The
signs
strongly
show
this.
Witherspoon
was
preferred
over
Rachel
Weisz,
Ziyi
Zhang
(Memoirs
of
a
Geisha).
Movies
shot
in
the
nation
by
outsiders
were
not
considered
for
the
competition
-
Match
Point
and
Jarhead.
Harry
Potter
and
The
Prisoner
of
Azkaban
picked
up
a
Best
Picture
Nomination
against
none
for
this
years
edition
of
the
magic
tale
Harry
Potter
and
the
Goblet
of
Fire.
The
associations
effort
to
keep
their
loyalty
at
home
in
the
form
of
the
Alexander
Korda
Award
for
outstanding
British
film
and
the
Carl
Foreman
Award
for
special
achievement
by
a
first-time
British
director,
writer
or
producer.
These
awards
too
had
foreign
intrusions,
with
a
part
of
the
nominations
going
to
out-of-nation
candidates.
These
anti-British
film
industry
policies
taken
by
BAFTA
only
reflect
the
mix
of
international
flavour
that
is
its
membership.
Its
members
are
spread
across
the
United
States
and
those
who
are
not
British.
They
are
those
foreign
hands
that
make
the
British
Film
industry.
So
it
anti-English
film,
industry
outlook
is
not
all
that
contradictory.
