I saw "In Bruges" and it was honestly the best movie I’ve seen in a long time!! I knew Gleeson and Fiennes were going to be in it but seeing Poesy turn up was an awesome suprise. It was a wicked hilarious film and I’m going to buy the dvd when it comes out. I hope it wins!

I really hope the ceremony isn’t as boring as last year. The highlight was Emma Watson presenting one the rest of the tie was just really bad jokes and drunk actors. Not fun to watch. Hope Wall-E wins a few easily my favourite film of last year
