00:30Keep coming along.

00:52And then just next to it, please.

00:57And then come into your left, please.
01:00And then round to the right again, please.
01:04And then start on the right-hand side, please.
01:09And then just next to the knees, Amy.
01:12And Amy, just next to the knees, please.

01:23Amy, just next to the knees, right.
01:25Amy, just here in the front.

01:40And then to your right, please.
01:43And now, please.
01:45In the middle.
01:47And then hand to the right, please, everyone.
01:51Lovely!
01:52I think it's a really, really exciting, bold, you know, big films, big themes, really entertaining movies that also raise questions and challenge us, particularly films like Sinners, One Battle After Another.
02:09And then what I also love is the British flavour, you know, that we've got some really, really high-profile international films and we've also got that British element, Ballad of Wallace Island, Iceware, which, you know, seems to have been so popular with voters, Pillion, another one.
02:29So that whilst, you know, there is some crossover with the Oscars, which is great, they are all excellent films, we also have a particularly British flavour to it as well.
02:40I mean, I would not want to comment on one leading actress from another, they are all absolutely brilliant.
02:47There are some outstanding performances and can you imagine how Chase Infinity must feel today?
02:53You know, she is nominated in Leading Actress, she is a BAFTA breakthrough, she's an E!E! rising star.
03:00Wow, what a few weeks it's going to be for her, which is very, very exciting.
03:05Sorry, where?
03:06The cinema.
03:08I'm not going to sit here and say, or stand here even, and say everything in the garden is rosy and perfect.
03:14You know, there are many challenges, there are many people working in the film and television industries who've had a really tough time over the last few years.
03:23But I do think that the enhanced tax credit that the government brought in for filmmaking has been and is continuing to be really helpful.
03:33And I think the stories that are being told, and the boldness with which those stories are being told,
03:38so many original stories that help us as an audience really to make sense of the complicated and confusing world we live in,
03:48says to me that human creativity is in a pretty good place when it comes to filmmaking.
03:55No, no, that's fine.
03:57You know, I think it is a journey, and, you know, there's always we could do better.
04:03I think we would still like to see even more women getting to direct those big blockbuster action movies.
04:10But to see Chloe Zhao direct Hamnet and receive the most nominations for a film of any female director ever,
04:19to see three of the five films in the documentary category have female directors on them,
04:26and to know that of the 46 films nominated, over a quarter were directed by women.
04:32We're heading in the right direction.
