Keira Knightley was not in the Isle of Wight for Benedict Cumberbatch’s wedding. She was in LA ahead of the Oscars, probably to do some last minute shilling and hand-shaking, even though I think Keira is pretty sure she’s going to lose the Best Supporting Actress race to Patricia Arquette. Keira did Jimmy Kimmel Live on Friday, and then on Saturday night, Keira was one of the few big-name celebrities to come out to the Writers Guild of America Awards. These are some photos from her red carpet appearance. I’m not a fan of this Burberry dress – she’s still stuck in the same girlish, baby-doll style she wore before her pregnancy.
Keira’s film, The Imitation Game, actually won something! TIG has been on a major losing streak as of late, but on Saturday, TIG picked up the WGA Award for adapted screenplay. Wes Anderson won original screenplay for The Grand Budapest Hotel, and there’s every belief that Wes is probably going to win his first Oscar for the screenplay too (yay!). I think it’s a big surprising that TIG won adapted screenplay – my money was on Gillian Flynn’s Gone Girl adaptation (although I didn’t love her adaptation of her book). You can read more about the WGAs here.
We’re in the last days of Oscar voting – all the ballots must be in by Tuesday, February 17th. Some races are still in the air – no one had any idea of Birdman or Boyhood will win Best Picture, or whether Richard Linklater or Alejandro G. Inarritu will win Best Director. Inarritu won the DGA, by the way. Which means he’s more likely to win the Best Director Oscar.
