Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom star Idris Elba has posted on Twitter that he's going to take BAFTA nominations into his own hands.
In an obvious joke, the actor who plays angry John Luther in the BBC One crime drama, said he had an appointment with BAFTA and he's going to "do a #Lutherrage" to find out where fellow Mandela star Naomie Harris' nomination is.
Despite neither Idris or Naomie being recognised, the Mandela biopic in which they both star has been nominated for outstanding British film.
Michael Fassbender doesn’t consider himself to be a sex symbol.
The actor — who claimed he was flattered to be named the eighth sexiest male movie star worldwide in a poll last year — doesn’t believe he’s attractive but tries not to think about how much female attention he gets because it would turn him vain.
“I don’t see myself as a pin-up,” he said. “I don’t dwell on it. That sort of information isn’t good for my own head.”
Fassbender sometimes wishes the jokes and sexual remarks about the size of his genitals would stop, but he is adamant he would take on a nudity role again if he was asked.
”Of course I would do it again if the film needs it. When filming 12 Years a Slave, [director] Steve [McQueen] wanted me to lose my pants for a particular scene and I was like, ‘Steve come on, we’ve done Shame already’,” he said.
”Listen, it’s not a big deal. I mean half the population has one between our legs and the other half has something else. It’s weird how there seems to be so much hype around one man’s piece of anatomy. It’s just ludicrous, really!”
Oscar Isaac was at the NBR Awards Gala on Tuesday to support the Coen Brothers, who picked up the Best Original Screenplay Award for their movie Inside Llewyn Davis.
