London Critics' Circle nominate American action thriller and Tinker Tailor for Best Film
Let joy be unconfined: Tinker
Tailor Soldier Spy has secured some nominations! The London Critics' Circle, Britain’s second biggest film awards after the BAFTAs, has given
the film six nominations, including Best Film, Best British Film and Best Actor
for Gary Oldman, which is great news, though the lack of a nomination for
director Tomas Alfredson is distressing.
However, it is also good to see that Tinker Tailor is tied on six nominations with Drive, the American action-thriller which, like the British
espionage drama, has been shamefully overlooked so far this awards season.
Despite having won the Best Director award at Cannes and receiving a warm
critical reception, it has been another strange absentee from the lists of
nominees which have been pouring out of the States.
