Quote of the day

med_cat: (H&W gray)

"One must always remember that we are not merely made of skin and bone. We are spiritual beings who can achieve all we set out to do. All we have to do is believe in the truth of our existence.

We were not put on this Earth by chance and either have we been put here simply to live and die. We are all on a wonderful journey of discovery. Not only to discover the joys and hardships of life, but to discover who we really are."

(Jeremy Brett)

"...my broken hallelujah..."

Hallelujah
Rufus Wainwright

I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
It goes like this
The fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

It is the 100th anniversary of the publication of Ford Madox Ford’s pre-First World War novel, The Good Soldier, a seminal book of the 20th century. It opens with this sentence: “This is the saddest story I ever heard,”–spoken by the narrator, John Dowell—my part, in the Granada TV adaptation filmed in 1980.

Moffat about Holmes and Watson

med_cat: (Basil in colour)
"There are very, very few people who can play Sherlock Holmes, and there have been so many and so few good ones," Moffat tells Fresh Air's TV critic David Bianculli. "In truth, you've got the mighty Basil Rathbone, the mighty Jeremy Brett and a few others. There are just not that many who transcend the role and change the role."
~~~~~~~~~~~~

On the importance of Dr. Watson

"If you look at any good version of Sherlock Holmes, Dr. Watson is every bit as important as Sherlock Holmes, and some would argue more so, because he's our conduit to Sherlock Holmes. He's the person to whom, in a way, the story happens. We are more emotionally resonant with Dr. Watson than with Sherlock Holmes because Sherlock Holmes is a hard man to empathize with."

A tree for Jeremy Brett/ Дерево в память о Джереми Бретте

med_cat: (H&W gray)
Later today, we shall be purchasing a tree in memory of Jeremy Brett. This tree shall be planted in the flagship Diamond Wood in Normanton le Heath, Leicestershire, UK. The tree will be planted in the Woodland Trust Supporters' Grove, along with all the others planted in celebration of Her Majesty The Queen's Diamond Jubilee. Within a few short years, the site will become a flourishing woodland jewel, providing a home for wildlife for years to come. We think that Jeremy would have liked that very much. Details of the tree's planting will also be noted in The Woodland Trust's Royal Record.

(from Posthumous BAFTA 4 JB FB page)


Позже сегодня мы заплатим за посадку дерева в память о Джереми Бретте. Это дерево посадят в Бриллиантовом Лесу в Нормантон-ле-Хис ( в графстве Лейстершир в Великобритании). Это дерeво посадят в роще Спонсоров Лесного Фонда вместе со всеми другими деревьями, которые будут посажены в честь Бриллиантовой годовщины Её Величества Королевы. Через несколько лет это место превратится в замечательный лес, в котором смогут жить дикие животные. Мы думаем, что Джереми это очень бы понравилось. Подробности о посадке дерева также будут вписаны в Королевский регистрационный журнал Лесного Фонда.

Джереми Бретту награду БАФТА не присудили

Джереми Бретту награду БАФТА не присудили

1 мая 2012 г.

К сожалению, мы вынуждены сообщить вам, что Британская Академия Кино- и Телеисскусства не будет оказывать Джереми Бретту почесть, присудив ему награду посмертно. Наша петиция, досье и письмо были обсуждены на собрании Телевизионной Комиссии Академии в январе. Тем не менее, несмотря на то, что многие ведущие актёры, режиссёры и продюсеры поддержали наше начинание, Совет Директоров решил не изменять своих правил о присуждении посмертных наград. 


Г-жа Келли Смит, глава отдела Телевидения и Видеоигр в БАФТА сообщила нам эту информацию, написав следующее:

"Подтверждаем, что награды БАФТА выдаются за выдающееся мастерство в определённых категориях в течение прошедшего года на наших ежегодных церемониях вручения наград.  Эти награды могут быть присуждены тому, кто скончался после окончания работы, которая заслуживала награды, но до даты церемонии вручения наград. Согласно этим правилам, Хис Леджер получил награду БАФТА за Лучшую Второстепенную Роль, которую он сыграл как Джокер в фильме "Тёмный Рыцарь", хотя он и скончался до даты вручения наград.

Академия также присуждает ещё два вида наград: Особые награды и Членские награды, которые даются в знак признания выдающегося вклада в индустрию кино, телевидения или видеоигр за общий обьём работ. Однако же, несколько лет назад, наш Совет Директоров принял решение, что эти награды не будут присуждать посмертно."


Итак...мы не смогли добиться того, чтобы БАФТА признала талант и заслуги Джереми. Но тем не менее, мы гордимся тем, что совершили попытку это сделать. Мы также очень гордимся и глубоко благодарны за всю поддержку, полученную от актёров, работников телеиндустрии, продюсеров и режиссёров.

И самое главное, мы хотели бы сказать ОГРОМНОЕ СПАСИБО всем поклонникам таланта Джереми Бретта, которые присоединились к нам в этом начинании. Спасибо вам за вашу веру в то, чего мы хотели добиться. Благодаря вам, Джереми Бретт и его фильмы приобрели дополнительную известность во всех странах мира. Мы будем всегда благодарны вам за это.

А нашим критикам, в особенности тем из них, которые считали нашу кампанию "нереалистичной", мы хотели бы сообщить, что с самого начала компании, наше контактное лицо в БАФТА, а также бывшие и настоящие члены Академии полагали, что мы действительно сможем чего-то добиться. Если бы это было не так, нашу работу не могли бы обсуждать во время официальных заседаний. Мы не добились успеха. Но мы сделали попытку, приложив все возможные усилия. Большего сделать мы не могли.

И как последнее примечание, мы хотим сообщить, что мы очень благодарны за вежливость, с которой к нам отнеслась г-жа Смит. Переписываться с ней было действительно приятно.

Для тех, кого это интересует, мы будем продолжать сообщать вам о том, что дальше будет делать наша команда. Следите за этим сайтом.

Ещё раз, СПАСИБО вам за подписи и поддержку!

С уважением и благодарностью,

Команда БАФТА для Дж.Б.

No BAFTA for Jeremy Brett

No BAFTA for Jeremy Brett

We regret to inform you that The British Academy of Film and Television Arts will not be honouring Jeremy Brett with a posthumous Award.  Our petition, dossier and letter were discussed at the Academy’s Television Committee meeting which took place at the end of January.  However, despite all of our support from several leading actors, producers and directors, the Board of Trustees decided that their initial decisions on posthumous Awards would not change.

Ms. Kelly Smith, Head of Television and Video Games within BAFTA relayed the information to us, saying:

     To confirm BAFTA Awards are given for excellence in particular categories at our awards ceremonies for their work in the Awards year.  These awards may still be presented to someone who died between the completion of their award-winning performance and the date of the ceremony itself.  In keeping with this policy, Heath Ledger for example won a BAFTA Award for Best Supporting Actor for his performance as the Joker in The Dark Knight, even though he died before the date of presentation.

     The Academy also honours individuals with either Special Awards or Fellowships, which recognise outstanding contribution to the film, television or video games industries for overall bodies of work.  However, our Board of Trustees decided a number of years ago that these honours should not bestowed posthumously.

So… we couldn’t get BAFTA to recognise Jeremy’s talent and work.  But we are however proud to have made a try for it.  We are also very proud and thankful for all of the support which we received, be it from actors, television executives, producers or directors.

Most of all, we would like to say a big big THANK YOU to all of Jeremy’s fans and admirers who joined us on our venture.  Thanks to you and to your belief in what we were trying to do, Jeremy Brett and his work received a big bag of publicity all over the world.  We shall forver be grateful for that.

To our critics, and especially to those who thought our campaign “unrealistic”, we would like to point out that from the start, our contact at BAFTA, as well as past and present members of the Academy thought that we may indeed be able to achieve something.  Had this not been the case, none of our work would have been discussed at any official meetings.  We did not succeed.  But we tried.  We did our very best.  We could have done nothing more.

On a last note, we would like it to be known that we are very grateful for the politeness shown us by Ms. Smith.  It was indeed a pleasure to correspond with her.

For those whom it may interest, we shall continue to update you as to what will become of our team.  Please stay tuned.

Once again, THANK YOU for your support!

News re: BAFTA 4 JB campaign/ Новости насчёт кампании БАФТА для Дж.Б.

med_cat: (H&W gray)
Following on from a small thread of comments below: some of you may be concerned that you have not / shall not see Jeremy Brett's name in the list of 2012 BAFTA nominees. This is completely normal, as the Academy has a series of awards of which the winners are not designated through nomination, but rather through deliberations of the Television Committee. It is one of these awards which Jeremy Brett is eligible for.

Please note also that there are many more Awards in existance than the ones which we see being given on the television ceremony, which is actually a set of highlights of the most "important" or most "popular" ones. Some awards are not given at the ceremony at all, but "internally". It is for this reason that BAFTA have agreed to consider our dossier at their next Television Committee meeting, as well as the fact that we are aware of their "internal system". So if Jeremy gets his Award, but you don't see his name in the list of nominees, don't worry. It is completely normal! ;)


После некоторых комментариев на нашей странице в Фейсбук мы решили дать разьяснения: некоторые из вас, может быть, не понимают, почему Джереми Бретт не включён в список кандидатов на награды БАФТА 2012г. Это совершенно в порядке вещей, поскольку Академия имеет несколько наград, которые выдаются не путём представления кандидатур, а согласно решению Телевизионного Комитета. Мы просим о присуждению Джереми Бретту именно такой награды.

Пожалуйста, также примите к сведению, что наград Академия выдаёт куда больше, чем те, которые показывают по телевидению. Показывают только самые крупные и известные виды наград. Некоторые награды вообще вручаются не на церемонии, а в частном порядке. Именно по этой причине БАФТА согласилась рассмотреть наше досье на следующем собрании Телевизионного Комитета. Так что если Джереми получит награду, но вы не увидите его имени в списке кандидатур, не беспокойтесь, так и должно быть! ;)
