Paddington 2 receives three Bafta nominations – paws crossed!

Awards Children's Books Film News

Our favourite Marmalade-loving Bear from darkest Peru has received three Bafta nominations for his second screen outing. The film, which was released in the UK in November 2017,  is nominated in the Outstanding British Film category and Best Adapted Screenplay. Hugh Grant is also nominated for the Best Supporting Actor reward for his portrayal of Phoenix Bu犀利士
chanan, a has-been actor who dons several different disguises as part of his nefarious plot. If you haven’t seen the end credit dance sequence yet, you’re in for a treat!

Congratulations to Heyday Films and Studio Canal.

Winners will be announced 18th February 2018 – paws crossed!
