The nominations for the 2012 Orange British Academy Film Awards were announced earlier this morning and Joe Cornish’s film, Attack the Block is included in the category for the Outstanding Debut by a British Writer, Director or Producer.
We wish him all the luck on February 12th, when the winners are announced.
View Comments Adam made a guest appearance on the 6Music, Tom Ravenscroft show last night to read a Christmas story. You can catch it here till the end of the week.
We have confirmation that Adam will bring his BUG Special to the Leicester Comedy Festival again next year. He will present two shows on 15th February 2012 and tickets are available here.
Adam’s BFI BUG shows are around that time too. Tickets will be on sale in January for one show on February 9th & two shows on 16th February 2012.
If you’re Down Under, you can catch Adam at the Sydney Festival on 26th to 29th January 2012. Tickets are selling fast but you’re still in with a chance.
Last Sunday, Joe was awarded the coveted Broadcasting House spurtle for his achievements this year. You can listen again for a few more hours here (towards the end) or download the podcast for the next month via this page.
Joe invited listeners to submit Human Christmas Tree photos, almost like a Black Squadron command. Two of them made it to the BH home page.
Listener Ciaran Logue sent this in.
Listener Anthony Nelson sent in a picture of his son dressed up for his school play.
Attack the Block has received nominations from The London Critics’ Circle in the categories of Breakthrough British Film Maker and Young British Performer of the Year. The presentations will take place in London on 19th January 2012.
John Boyega (Moses from Attack the Block) has also been nominated in the Black Reel Awards and Attack the Block was named Best First Feature by The Toronto Film Critics Association.
The New York Film Critics Online also declared Joe Cornish Best Debut Director.
You can buy Attack the Block from here.
In a break with tradition this year, there will be no public exchange of slightly rubbs gifts between Adam and Joe.
A compilation from the best of the 2011 shows, will broadcast on New Year’s Eve between 10 am and 1pm.
At least one podcast will be made from this show too.
You can find many of the older podcasts in our forum.
Adamandjoe.com wishes readers and forum members a jolly festive season!
