The BAFTAs: Bonkers or Boring? (Full Breakdown) + Star-Spotting at the Elvis & Paul McCartney PREMIERES!
FEB 24, 2026
The BAFTAs: Bonkers or Boring? (Full Breakdown) + Star-Spotting at the Elvis & Paul McCartney PREMIERES!
This week on Fred On Film we deep-dive into the weird, wonderful and yet awfully dull BAFTAs ceremony. I discuss why the show feels so flat, the big surprises and shocks, and the impact on the Oscar race. I also take you into my two starriest Premieres yet (Baz Luhrman afterparty, anyone?) before reviewing both movies: EPIC - a new Elvis concert movie - and MAN ON THE RUN - the new Paul McCartney doc. We finish off with the much-demanded return of Forrest Grump (3 things that annoyed me in cinemas this week) and another little snippet from my 15 year old movie journals.
