Sherlock's Benedict Cumberbatch Set For TV Detective Of The Year At National Television Awards?

BY DEEPIKA RAJANI ON SEPTEMBER 17, 2013

Benedict Cumberbatch could find himself taking home a National Television Award for 'Best TV Detective Of The Year' following the news that he has been nominated in the new category. However, the Sherlock actor has some stiff competition. 

Up against Benedict in the category that will feature in the list of categories including 'Best Drama' and 'Best Talent Show', is iconic actor David Suchet for his portrayal of Hercule Poirot and Broadchurch stars David Tennant and Olivia Colman for their roles as DI Hardy and DS Miller. 

Whilst it will be interesting to see who wins in the new category, we're also going to be excited about seeing who will take home the award for the 'Best Drama Performance' with Downton Abbey still prominent in the line up following the nominations for Hugh Bonneville, Dame Maggie Smith, Michelle Dockery and Jim Carter.



James McAvoy gets Filth-y



SCREEN DAILY
17 September, 2013 | By Wendy Mitchell

Filth certainly shows James McAvoy like we’ve never seen him before: smoking, drinking, snorting, shagging, cursing, punching, and any other form of misbehaviour you can imagine.

In the adaptation of Irvine Welsh’s book, McAvoy plays Scottish policeman Bruce Robertson, investigating a murder, missing his wife, seeking a promotion and generally behaving badly.


The underlying mental troubles that lead to the bad behaviour were what drew in McAvoy. “It was a portrayal of someone with severe mental health issues that’s not just sad and depressing,” McAvoy said after a London screening last night. “It was about finding the thing that makes him not just a surreal caricature which is his fear.”

Ultimately, despite the despicable behaviour, the filmmakers want the audience to care for Bruce. “We’re trying to make you feel for him, that should be the shocking thing.”

Director Jon S Baird said he relished the challenge of “making this despicable character, if not likable, followable.”
