However my colleague at WitD, Allan Fish, who is British and a Mike Leigh fan feels the film is very overated. The Best Director prize though for Leigh was abit too strong a statement, I'll agree.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36921766.post-45880530336962201472008-12-10T19:40:00.000-05:002008-12-10T19:40:00.000-05:00"Happy-Go-Lucky" is OK, but I wouldn't be giving i..."Happy-Go-Lucky" is OK, but I wouldn't be giving it awards like this.

Between this and the LA critics awards, I'm disappointed that Fincher didn't snag Best Director for <I>Benjamin Button</I>.
