UK “Oscars” Snub “Selma,” Even Though Star David Oyelowo is a Brit

Share

 

The BAFTA nominations are out. They snubbed “Selma” completely even though its amazing star, David Oyelowo, is British. The other big BAFTA surprise was a total ignoring of Mike Leigh’s “Mr. Turner” and its star, beloved British actor Timothy Spall, who won the New York Film Critics Award. Weird.
