Chris O’Dowd is to host this year’s British Independent Film Awards for the first time, on Sunday 4th December at Old Billingsgate. He takes over from James Nesbitt who will become a patron this year. This is the Awards 14th year and the films nominated include Senna, Shame, Tyrannosaur, We Need to Talk About Kevin, Kill List, Tinker Taylor Soldier Spy and Submarine.
Submarine, directed by O’Dowd’s IT Crowd co-star Richard Ayoade has five nominations including Ayoade himself for the Douglas Hickox Award (Best Debut Director) and Best Screenplay.
That’s not the only TVO connection; modern horror Kill List, directed by The Sightseers’ Ben Wheatley, features TVO faces Gareth Tunley, Alice Lowe and Steve Oram (in cameos).
Although Tyrannosaur doesn’t include any TVO regulars, it’s produced by Warp Films who also produced Submarine and Kill List.
For more information about these and the other nominations go to the BIFA website.
