British Academy Awards

Famous quotes containing the words british and/or academy:

    Jane Hudson: Bravo.
    Rosano Brazzi: Grazie.
    Jane Hudson: Prego. That about concludes my entire performance in Italian.
    H.E. Bates, British screenwriter, and David Lean. Jane Hudson (Katherine Hepburn)

    I realized early on that the academy and the literary world alike—and I don’t think there really is a distinction between the two—are always dominated by fools, knaves, charlatans and bureaucrats. And that being the case, any human being, male or female, of whatever status, who has a voice of her or his own, is not going to be liked.
    Harold Bloom (b. 1930)
