Just a quick snippet of news to say that two Oscar nominated legends will be teaming up for an upcoming project. Director Martin Scrosese (The Departed, Goodfellas, Taxi Driver, Shutter Island, Hugo, The Wolf of Wall Street, The Aviator, Casino, Cape Fear, The Age of Innocence, The Last Temptation of Christ, After Hours, Raging Bull, The King of Comedy and Mean Streets) has just added Liam Neeson (Taken, Schindler’s List, Batman Begins, The Dark Knight Rises, Star Wars, The Chronicles of Narnia) to the cast of the upcoming drama Silence alongside Andrew Garfield, Ken Watanabe and Adam Driver. The pair will be reuniting for the first time twelve years, the last being when the acclaimed Gangs of New York was released.
The PGoA, or Producers Guild of America, aren’t the most mainstream of Award Ceremonies but they often give us a sneak peek at what’s going to make it big at the Oscars and BAFTAs. The nominated entries were:

If you really want the TV results than I’ll skip over them quickly. In the mini-series and TV movies category, the nominees were American Horror Story: Asylum, Behind the Candelabra, Killing Kennedy, Phil Spector and Top of the Lake. The Norman Felton Award for episodic drama was spearheaded by Breaking Bad, Downton Abbey, Game of Thrones, Homeland and House of Cards while the Danny Thomas Award for episodic comedy nominations of 2014 featured 30 Rock, Arrested Development, The Big Bang Theory, Modern Family and Veep.
The only other scrap of news from today would be the confirmation of BAFTA’s Rising Star nominees. The award, now sponsored by EE, has had previous winners such as James McAvoy, Shia LaBeouf, Eva Green, Kristen Stewart and Tom Hardy while unlucky nominees have included Jesse Eisenberg, Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston, Chris O’Dowd, Eddie Redmayne, Elizabeth Olsen, Rachel McAdams, Michelle Williams, Emily Blunt, Naomie Harris, Cillian Murphy, Ben Whishaw, Sienna Miller, Ellen Page, Michael Cera, Rebecca Hall, Gemma Arteton, Adnrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Carey Mulligan, Suraj Sharma, Alicia Vikander, Michael Fassbender, Chiwetel Ejiofor and Andrea Riseborough so we can expect big things from this year’s lot.
Lupita Nyong’o is one of the breakout stars of harrowing Oscar favourite 12 Years a Slave who’s picked up a Rising Star nom but I’m afraid that this means she won’t be in consideration for Best Supporting Actress at the BAFTAs. Lea Seydoux is a French actress who took the lead role in Palme D’Or winner Blue is the Warmest Colour which’ll certainly pick up Best Foreign Language Film. George MacKay is one of the busiest young British actors of the moment after bringing out lead roles in Sunshine on Leith, For Those in Peril and How I Live Now all on the same day, October 4th. Will Poulter has moved on from Son of Rambo and being the best thing in the third Narnia film to producing hits with successful comedies Wild Bill and We’re the Millers. Dane DeHaan is ready-made box office material after proving himself as one to watch with Chronicle, Lincoln, Kill Your Darlings, Lawless and The Place Beyond the Pines as well as landing the huge role of Harry Osborn in this year’s superhero sequel The Amazing Spider-Man 2.
The rest of this year’s BAFTA nominees will be announced this Wednesday so expect full coverage from Tuorhoth Movies. By for now!
