Bafta TV awards 2012: who should win?
25 May 2012 6:14 AM, PDT | The Guardian - TV News | See recent The Guardian - TV News news »
Which shows and actors deserve to win at Sunday's TV Baftas ceremony? Could all the big awards go West? Tell us your hopes and fears
Read the full list of 2012 nominations
On Sunday evening the great and good of UK telly will gather at the Royal Festival Hall for the British Academy Television Awards – a celebration of the best programmes and performances of the past year that also tends to provoke controversy. (Last year's big, although entirely foreseeable upset: Towie beating Sherlock to the Bafta YouTube audience award. This year's potential upset: Celebrity Juice doing the same). So who should be sweeping off with what? We discussed the nominations – and in some cases lack of them – in a blog when they were released. But now it's time to pick our winners.
The acting categories seem particularly close this year, with Benedict Cumberbatch, Dominic West, John Simm and Joseph Gilgun all »

Hyde Park On Hudson Trailer Hits And Bill Murray Looks Brilliant
22 May 2012 4:13 PM, PDT | AreYouScreening.com | See recent AreYouScreening news »
We won’t be seeing it until December 7th, and it’s unlikely to be the kind of film that will ultimately bombard you with ads, so the trailer release for Hyde Park on Hudson better hope it stirs something deep if it’s going to be remembered. It looks a bit odd frankly, even among films with Presidents and Queens, but it stars many of my favorites, and I can imagine that director Roger Michell can make something interesting out of it.
Bill Murray in Hyde Park on Hudson p/c Nicola Dove Focus Features
It’s just my kind of wild actually, and I’m looking forward to it. This may not seem like your cup of tea, but give the trailer a look, and let me know what you think.

Hyde Park On Hudson Trailer Arrives

As a man known for his legendary ability not to be found when filmmakers come calling, Bill Murray is something of a big fish to land. He responds only to scripts he likes, directors he sparks to or favours to friends (see: his cameo in Zombieland), so we can now all wonder which one led to him playing Us president Franklin D Roosevelt in Hyde Park On Hudson. You can watch the first trailer for the comedy drama below. brightcove.createExperiences();The film is based on the real-life meeting in 1939 between Fdr, his wife Eleanor (Olivia Williams) and King George VI (Samuel West), who became the first British monarch to visit with the Us president. Showing up with wife Elizabeth (Olivia Colman), aka the late Queen Mother, the King arrived for what was a tense meet-and-greet, with the monarch hoping Fdr would offer help as the clouds of war began to gather. »

You can always tell it’s Oscar season when films featuring big-name actors and actresses portraying famous historical figures start rolling into theaters (recent examples include The King’s Speech, My Week with Marilyn, etc.). Focus Features has gone ahead and released a trailer for one such production on the horizon, titled Hyde Park on Hudson.
The Hyde Park on Hudson cast is headed by Bill Murray as Franklin D. Roosevelt – who is joined by his Rushmore costar, Olivia Williams, as the First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt, Samuel West (Howard’s End) as King George VI, and Olivia Colman (Tyrannosaur) as Queen Elizabeth. However, similar to My Week with Marilyn, the film unfolds from the perspective of a more obscure name: Daisy (Laura Linney), Fdr’s distant cousin, who also becomes a good friend and confidante to the famous U.S. president – not ...

"Hyde Park on Hudson": Bill Murray's Best Actor make-up call?
Murray infamously lost the Oscar trophy to Sean Penn at the 2004 ceremony, but could find himself holding the little gold man this year thanks to "Hyde Park on Hudson," a bit of down-the-middle-looking Oscar bait that recalls "The King's Speech" and "My Week With Marilyn."
Of course, playing it somewhat safe might be by design: "Hudson" focuses on Franklin Delano Roosevelt (Murray) and a romantic relationship he had with his distant cousin, Margaret Stuckley (Laura Linney, providing some on-the-nose narration). Things come to a head during a weekend at Fdr's Hyde Park home, when the King and Queen of England stop by for a visit.
Olivia Colman and Samuel West play Queen Elizabeth and King George VI, while Murray's "Rushmore" co-star Olivia Williams plays Eleanor Roosevelt.
Still, despite the supporting cast, it's Murray's show. He affects a mannered voice as the four-term president, »

Bill Murray Looks Oscar-Worthy as Fdr in First Hyde Park on Hudson Trailer
18 May 2012 1:28 PM, PDT | Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news »
It seemed like a curious choice when Bill Murray was cast as the late Us President Franklin D. Roosevelt in the adaptation of Hyde Park On Hudson, but now that the first trailer has hit Yahoo!, the movie looks to be Murray's finest work in years.
Based on the 2009 British radio play by Richard Nelson (who adapted the screenplay), Hyde Park on Hudson takes place during a weekend in 1939 when Roosevelt was visited by the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth I, played by Samuel West and Olivia Colman respectively — the first ever visit to America by reigning British royalty. (And, coincidentally, the same monarchs depicted in the Oscar–winning The King's Speech.)
Complicating matters beyond the cultural divide is Fdr's cousin, Margaret "Daisy" Suckley (Laura Linney), often thought to be Roosevelt's mistress. While the supporting cast looks terrific, it's Murray's performance that gets the most focus, and it looks »

Hyde Park on Hudson Trailer Starring Bill Murray
18 May 2012 12:43 PM, PDT | FilmJunk | See recent FilmJunk news »
Well here's something a little bit different for Bill Murray -- and by different I mean a movie that's not directed by Wes Anderson or Jim Jarmusch. Hyde Park on Hudson is a historical drama that explores the relationship between former U.S. president Franklin D. Roosevelt and his distant cousin Margaret Suckley. The story takes place primarily over a weekend in 1939 when Queen Elizabeth and King George VI came to visit Roosevelt's home in upstate New York (which was also the first time a reigning English monarch had ever come to the United States). Clearly there is a bit of a light-hearted tone and Fdr is portrayed as a slightly eccentric character, but based on the trailer I would hesitate to call it a comedy. In fact, the trailer gives off similar vibes to The King's Speech and My Week with Marilyn, and I'm almost wondering if this could »

First Look At Bill Murray As Fdr In Hyde Park On Hudson Trailer
18 May 2012 12:21 PM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
Elusive, unpredictable and drawn to risky ventures, Bill Murray has evolved from a goofy comedian to a truly intriguing and rightly acclaimed actor. Still, we were admittedly surprised when word hit last year that Murray would be portraying President Franklin Delano Roosevelt in Roger Michell's historical dramedy Hyde Park on Hudson. Still, we had faith that Murray would bring warmth and humor to the role; and from the looks of the recently released promotional photos he certainly looks the part. Now at long last we get to see Murray in action, as MSN UK has unveiled Hyde Park on Hudson's first trailer: Hyde Park on Hudson takes place in June 1939, when President Roosevelt (Murray) and his wife Eleanor (Murray's Rushmore co-star Olivia Williams) invited Queen Elizabeth (Olivia Colman) and King George VI (Samuel West)--whose rise to the throne was documented in the Oscar-winning The King's Speech--to visit »

"I now see how important this weekend was..." Focus Features has unveiled the first trailer for Hyde Park on Hudson, a film about the weekend in 1939 when the King of England visited President Franklin D. Roosevelt's upstate New York estate. Bill Murray plays Fdr, along with Olivia Williams as Eleanor Roosevelt, Laura Linney as Margaret Suckley, Samuel West as King George VI (the same one from The King's Speech) and Olivia Colman as Queen Elizabeth. This has a very light, fun, comical tone similar to The King's Speech in many ways, but with its own quirks, including of course Bill Murray. Looks quite good. Watch the first official trailer for Roger Michell's Hyde Park on Hudson, in high def via Yahoo: The story of the love affair between Fdr (Murray) and his distant cousin Margaret Stuckley (Linney), centered around the weekend in 1939 when the King and Queen of »

First Trailer and Poster for Hyde Park On Hudson, Starring Bill Murray as Fdr
18 May 2012 11:20 AM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
The first trailer for the historical drama Hyde Park on the Hudson has gone online. The film stars Bill Murray as President Franklin D. Roosevelt and centers on a weekend in 1939 which marked the first ever visit to America by a British monarchy when King George VI and Queen Elizabeth visited Fdr’s upstate New York cottage. Roosevelt also had an affair with his cousin, Daisy, during the same weekend. The trailer basically plays like a funnier version of Downton Abbey, with a great deal of heart thrown in towards the end. Lest you think this is another droll, period drama without a sense of humor, Murray is splendidly fun as Roosevelt. Hit the jump to watch the trailer. Directed by Roger Michell (Notting Hill), the film also stars Laura Linney, Olivia Williams, Samuel West, Olivia Colman, Elizabeth Marvel, Elizabeth Wilson, and Eleanor Bron. Focus Features will release Hyde Park »

Watch: Bill Murray Is Franklin D. Roosevelt In Trailer For Oscar Hopeful 'Hyde Park On Hudson'
18 May 2012 10:55 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Accent: check. Impersonation of famous person in biopic: check. Forbidden love: check. Wheelchair: check. It looks like Bill Murray is ready for his Oscar moment. The actor was seen as a favorite for the award in 2004 for his performance in "Lost In Translation," but was beaten at the last by Sean Penn in "Mystic River." He's continued to make quirky, picky choices ever since, but no film seems to have a better chance of giving him another run at awards gold than period drama "Hyde Park on Hudson," a trailer for which has just debuted over at Yahoo.
The film, directed by Roger Michell ("Notting Hill," "Changing Lanes"), sees Murray play the great President Franklin D. Roosevelt, and tells the story of a weekend when Fdr and his wife Eleanor (Olivia Williams) went to a country retreat on the Hudson with King George VI and Queen Elizabeth (Samuel West and Olivia Colman, »

‘Hyde Park on Hudson’ Trailer – Bill Murray is President Franklin Delano Roosevelt
18 May 2012 10:37 AM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
While he is currently at Cannes promoting Wes Anderson‘s Moonrise Kingdom, Bill Murray potentially has a major awards contender this December with Hyde Park on Hudson. Portraying President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the film from Roger Michell (Morning Glory, Notting Hill) takes a look at just a small slice of the man’s life.
As the actor has mostly taken just supporting roles the last few years, it’s great to see Murray in something of more weight. Michell hasn’t been known to direct anything too serious and this has the light tone we’re accustomed to from the helmer. But it’s certainly looking leagues better than last year’s Us government icon offering J. Edgar and similar, structure-wise, of My Week with Marilyn. Also starring Laura Linney, Samuel West and Olivia Colman, one can see it below, along with the first poster.
