Nominations and Ales

Guy Lodge on HitFix continues listing her predictions for the Oscars. His ten names list includes Mia Wasikowska:

Mia Wasikowska's 2012 took a flat turn, with neither "Restless" nor "Albert Nobbs" doing much to showcase her delicate gifts, but why have people forgotten that it started with the performance of her already considerable career? As Charlotte Brontë's shy-yet-candid romantic heroine, the Australian ingenue is ideally cast, yet doesn't let that do the work for her: her alternately ordinary and exquisite face is constantly alive with thought and observation, gifting the medium with its loveliest, spikiest Jane yet.

The Gay & Lesbian Entertainment Critics Association has nominated Jane Eyre 2011 to the Best Unsung film of the year. Fortunately the Irish Film & Television Academy has amended one of the most obvious injustices in the recent BAFTAs long lists: Robbie Ryan has been nominated to the Best Cinematography for Wuthering Heights 2011.

Sabotage Times makes a list with "ten real ales":

Bridgehouse Brewery ‘Heathcliff Stout’ 5.0% ABV
I’ve stuck this at the end because it’s not an ale, it’s a stout – but it’s bloody lovely. Brewed in Oxenhope, West Yorkshire, just down the road from Haworth where the character ‘Heathcliff’ was created by Emily Brontë. Rather like ‘Wuthering Heights’, this is dark, moody and very tasty indeed. Bridgehouse Brewery would seem to be a micro-brewery and don’t yet have a fully functioning website, so it’s unlikely to be engulfed by Japanese tourists like Haworth is these days, but if you happen to stumble upon it whilst roaming the bleak moors, make sure you get a pint down you. Unless the ghost of famous booze hound Branwell Brontë has beaten you to it, in which case there may be none left.  (Andrew Long)
