THE SPECIAL JURY PRIZE

Sponsored by The UK Film Council

Announced at the British Independent Film Awards on Sunday 6 December

No Michael Sheen for The Damned United? Oh geez. Some's gonna crap in her pants.

Oh wait, there's Jim Broadbent. That means it's still on Oscars radar.

Love the Fish Tank and Michael Fassbender appreciation!

Yepp for Emily Blunt!

I'm surpised Ben Whishaw wasn't nominated for "Bright Star".

I wonder whether "Cheri" was eligible for these awards.

I have a feeling that Katie Jarvis is taking Best Actress. These awards tend to give their wins to less-known people, not Oscar front-runners.

as witness Vera Farmiga winning over Sally Hawkins last year, even as Marsan and Zegerman took both supporting awards.

Exactly. Or Katie Dickie winning over Helen Mirren.

At least in Dickie's case it was deserved.

I love Farmiga but... really?!

I wouldn't call it deserved, but to each his own. As for Farmiga's winning over Hawkins... yes, it was a big WTF?!
