Boyhood back on Bristol screens
With six Oscar nods – all in major categories – to add to its five BAFTA nominations (Best Film, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best original Screenplay, David Lean Award for Direction), Richard Linklater’s Boyhood could yet prove to be one of the big awards season winners. That’s certainly what exhibitors seem to think, as the film is back on screen in all five of Bristol’s multiplexes from Fri 16, following its rather modest initial release last July.
Of the other major Oscar contenders, Birdman (9 nods), The Imitation Game (8 nods), The Theory of Everything (5 nods) and Foxcatcher (5 nods) are still showing widely and The Grand Budapest Hotel (9 nods) is already out on DVD and blu ray. Whiplash (5 nods), Wild (one nod) and American Sniper (6 nods) open on Fri 16. Ava DuVernay’s Martin Luther King Jr biopic, Selma, meanwhile, was completely overlooked by Mr BAFTA but received two Oscar nods, including Best Picture. This one doesn’t open until Feb 6, but if you’re really eager to see it the Bristol Cineworld has early preview screenings on Mon 19 Jan.
