Crossing my fingers worked! Well done Mike Leigh for getting the Golden Lion in Venice. And congratulations to Imelda Staunton who won the best actress gong too for the same film. Vera Drake looks great. Nice to see that long time Leigh collaborator Ruth Sheen (thats her on the left)is in the film. Remember how a few years ago we all had to imagine how BW looked? He was the only blogger who really knew. I imagined she looked like Ruth Sheen. How wrong I was (luckily for BW!).
