I felt fairly blue about that, because all along it felt like I’d been told I was going to get a promotion and then been overlooked at the last minute… I let myself hope, I let myself believe what people were saying and that was silly. I want to say, if you’re going to be in Bafta, it’s British Academy, you have to watch all the British films before you start watching the other stuff. If I had a pound for every time a Bafta member has admitted to me, weeks after the voting closed, ‘I haven’t seen Tyrannosaur yet …’! I found it upsetting: Peter [Mullan] should have been up for Best Actor, Eddie [Marsan] should have been up for Best Supporting. It’s our own Academy and they don’t watch our films.
