A shame that neither Ben nor London Spy won the BAFTA last night. I already had a feeling Mark Rylance would pick up Best Leading Actor (as he's been on a winning-streak), and it is a tough category, with only four worthy nominees. Still, after Ben's Tony Awards Nomination snub, I was hopeful!
"I always have a wonderful time, wherever I am, whomever I'm with."
Rylance was great as always but i would be happier if ben had won. his performance was just heartbreaking.
worst thing was Tony Snub when they announced nominees i was like WTF!? i was so sure that he would be nominated but they snubbed him! don't know why!? maybe they snubbed him for bigger names! by the way some of nominees were laughable like Lupita Nyongo! there was many better and more praised performance that they overlooked for stars it's famous how star F*c*ry is Tony just like Globes.
I'm totally in agreement. I am still utterly shocked that Ben didn't get a Tony nomination. (Sophie Okonedo and Bill Camp are excellent but let's be honest: Ben WAS that show. And as someone who sees a lot of theatre each season, I can assure you that no one put more blood, sweat, tears, and nose snot into a performance like Ben did).
I was so sure that Ben would be nominated for a Tony that I thought the first few articles listing the nominees had made a mistake.
I have a feeling something wonderful is awaiting him around the corner. He is overdue.
"I always have a wonderful time, wherever I am, whomever I'm with."
Wow that's great you saw him performing ive i hope i would to this someday too.
how good was Saoirse? it was her first theatre peformance
I have a feeling something wonderful is awaiting him around the corner. He is overdue.
he's such an overdue and i hope you are right about something wonderful waiting for him
i'm waiting for his breakthrouh in hollywood since Perfume and i tought many times this would happen like for Cloud Atlas and then for Skyfall but nothing really changed since 10 years ago
but i feel he's breakthrough would be like Ryalnce's or Mendelsohn's both great and underrated for many years and now both doing very well in hollywood i just hope for ben it doesn't take too long as did for Mendelsohn and he can continue to play lead but just for bigger movies like Redmayne or Cumberbatch or even McAvoy
i just can not mention to likes of Tom Hardy that are ruling on hollywood! Ben is just so much better than them!
i think Ben's choices of roles and filmography is good his tv works and theatre resume is good too but he need a big change at this moment and i think i mean i feel it will happeni hope the change happen in next five years (maybe for Mercury biopic or Marry Poppins!?) if that happen it would be great thing to wait and see.
I hope I get to see him live again--and I hope it doesn't take him another six years to do a show in New York City, like it did this past time!
As for Saoirse: she was fine and grew more powerful in her stage-presence as the show progressed from previews to the final performance (I saw it a few times, throughout the run). To be honest, Abigail Williams' part is more of a catalyst for the action and less of a central presence in the play. She's only in two of the four Acts. I think Saoirse made the role memorable, considering that she doesn't get that much stage-time. I wasn't "wowed" by her and if she wasn't Saoirse Ronan, I wonder if I even would have thought much about the performance? For a Broadway and theatre (as a whole) debut, she held her own with the other seasoned stars.
I'm with you--I appreciate the talent of Tom Hardy, Benedict Cumberbatch, Tom Hiddleston, Eddie Redmayne, and company, but these men combined can't hold a candle to Ben Whishaw. Sorry...none is ranked more highly in the talent, humility, passion, or commitment category.
On the one hand, I'd like Ben to get his deserved recognition; on the other, I want him to be able to preserve his privacy. But Mark Rylance seems able, of late, to balance it all just fine.
Hey, as long as he's happy and working, we're happy!

so it seems she did what she could with what she had but it was her first time and i'm sure if she wants to do more theatre in future she will be better i know Cinema and theatre are different mediums but she is phenomenal movie actor i think she can be great in theatre too

I agree
