    I reckon the Greek was a dirty ole dog in his day.

    Also let's not forget the rumours about him and his carriage driving partner/friend.

    Bet the boss has had to put up with rather a lot in her lifetime. :(

    There are rumours that the father of Air miles Prince was not the man from Greece but her racing manager 😮😮 I really, really don't want to believe that though!

    Does that count? It's in the contract when you sign on for those kind of films. I thought the blind was more referring to just being out and about everyday.

    The blind says they'll only next do promotion for when the Oscar film comes out, if it is Ree Dolly, THGs promotion begins before Joy, so just don't see how it fits. As someone said before not sure what the blind is about really, if they're an oscar-type actress then they probably don't court much publicity when not promoting films anyway.

    From Popbitch:Which Brit actor (currently starring in one of the BBC's acclaimed drama series) liked the make-up artist who spruced him up for a Channel 4 appearance so much that he went home with her in a cab after the show? A cab that was paid for by the Channel 4 production team who'd booked him. A cab which he left running on the meter outside, while he did the deed.

    I read that and was trying to cross reference which C4 shows have had guests from a BBC acclaimed drama and the only ones I could think of were The League Of Gentlemen and Postman Pat both of which seemed unlikely. :confused:

    The C4 appearance is probably a talk show. Who's been on Chatty Man or Paul O'Grady recently (thought it might not have been a recent appearance)?

    Well Katniss has been photographed by the paps out and about this very week. So unless this person is never going to step outside their door until later in the year, no way would that work.

    I think it could be a landlord from a long running soap.

    Why not?

    Because I'd like to think there is one member of the screwed up family who didn't 'play the away game' 😉😉

    It's certainly won loads of awards over the years, and he strikes me as the type who would do that 😮

    I think it might be the guy who recently upset a far right group - he was in a recent BBC drama and is a panellist on a C4 comedy quiz. He has form for playing away and left one job presenting a showon the BBC last time he was caught out.

    I wouldn't really blame her if she was treated badly by her husband.

    I've read somewhere that she was going to leave him at one point, so the then government had to call an emergency meeting.

    Paul O'Grady isn't a C4 show.

    But you could be right about the C4 appearance being a chat show. It could be Chatty Man or possibly the one on a Sunday morning.

    The blind says they'll only next do promotion for when the Oscar film comes out, if it is Ree Dolly, THGs promotion begins before Joy, so just don't see how it fits. As someone said before not sure what the blind is about really, if they're an oscar-type actress then they probably don't court much publicity when not promoting films anyway.

    You want to court GOOD publicity not bad publicity if you are doing an Oscar campaign. How you dress, saying non-controversial things unless your movie is a bit controversial, not stumbling out of clubs, etc. Oscar voters tend to be older and while the acting will get you a nomination, you want to butter them up to vote in your favor. There's some outright winner like last year's Julianne Moore. She was the crowned winner and no matter what Felicity Jones or Rosamund Pike did, they weren't going to unseat Moore.

    Redmayne, on the other hand, was the favorite along with Keaton. He campaigned hard for it. He was every where Oscar voters were at. So was Keaton but not to the extent as Redmayne.

    Oscar voters could have seen Katniss' antics with the chopsticks and drawn moustaches as something quirky or stupid. However, she's already won an Oscar so she will get a pass so I don't think the blind is about her.

    Well he has been on Sunday Brunch although not this year, but would he really be referred to as a Brit actor even though it is technically true?

    Plus I don't believe she's in an Oscar Bait film, looking at "Oscar contending" films out in Dec/Nov we
    have

    Shailene Woodly (Snowden)
    Melissa Leo (Snowden)
    Cate Blanchett (Carol)
    Rooney Mara (Carol)
    Maggie Smith (Lady in the Van)
    Jane Fonda/Rachel Weiss (Youth)
    Elizabeth Olsen (I Saw the Light)
    Amber Heard (The Danish Girl)


    Knowing how much Heard has been in the Blinds I'd take a guess at her

    From BRAPPP:


    "Karma's a bitch," was the simple reaction of this C-list actor when he heard the news of this A-list couple breaking-up.

    I presumed this referred to the American chap who was in Armageddon, and met who became his wife on the set of Pearl Harbour ?

    She left her then husband to be with the one she's divorcing now.

    As much as I don't even really understand the Blind "Joy" is about as Oscar-bait as you can get, based on a true story, director and actors always nominated, released in December when most of the films like to be released nowadays for Oscar.

    I actually do think the Blind is meant to be about Katniss, but it makes no sense, for all the reasons mentioned before, she can't walk out the door without being photographed.

    Given some of the non-entities who qualify as B-list, what exactly is a C-list actor? Someone from an agency?
