Made In Dagenham for Outstanding British Film and 3 More Bafta Awards
2010 British film titled Made In Dagenham and directed by Nigel Cole is definitely something that deserves our full attention.
If you’re asking why – then let me remind you that the movie was nominated for four awards at the 2010 British Academy Film Awards and at the 2010 Toronto International Film Festival premiere, the movie was described as “combination of Milk and Mad Men.” Sounds good?
So, when we’re here at the beginning, let’s take a look at the above mentioned nominations. Here are categories: Outstanding British Film, Costume Design, Make Up & Hair Design and Supporting Actress – Miranda Richardson.
Not bad, but if you ask the actress Rosamund Pike (also stars in the movie) she believes that Made in Dagenham deserved greater recognition.
In an interview with the BBC, Pike said British films were being unfairly overlooked in favour of Hollywood rivals as voters “watch them over Christmas.”
