I was, and I am, deeply grateful for our Freddie film being recognised in a way we never had the audacity to expect.
Vitriol and dishonesty, and blatant attempts to shame and influence the members into voting the way they, in their arrogance required them to.
But I found the public activity behind the whole awards season, and the behaviour of the media writers surrounding it, deeply disturbing.
If you look at the Press and Internet discussions that took place over the last few months, you can see that 90% of it is aimed at discrediting one or other, or all of the nominated films by innuendo and smears, rather than discussing their merits and admiring the skills that went into making them.
