BIFA noms
There's some significance, I think, in Nicholas Hytner 's The History Boys getting only four nominations for the British Independent Film Awards noms. Stephen Frears' The Queen took seven, Kevin Macdonald's The Last King of Scotland and Shane Meadows' This Is England got six each, and Andrea Arnold's Red Road and Roger Michell's Venus got five each. Katja Hoffman's Variety announcement story didn't mention if Boys star Richard Griffiths landed an acting nomination. The BIFAs will happen 11.29 at the West London's Hammersmith Palais.

Richard Griffiths wasn't nominated, nor was History Boys nominated for best film, nor Nicholas Hytner for best director. The nods were for Alan Bennett's script, Frances de la Tour as best actress and both Dominic Cooper and Samuel Barnett for promising newcomer.
It's also worth noting that Breaking and Entering got three nominations, all acting nods, none for Minghella...

Let's not forget Ken Loach's Cannes winner, which took Picture, Director & Actor nods. Does it have a US release date? (not that it matters, Oscar-wise)
