Bad news from BAFTA central.....

In spite of announcing the 2012 BAFTA Film Awards nominations alongside Daniel Radcliffe, Holliday Grainger has been overlooked by those who have been selected to pick the candidates for the 2013 EE BAFTA Rising Star Award. In the face of this disapointing piece of news, I am still clinging to the hope that her portrayal of Estella will guarantree her a BAFTA nomination in the category of Best Supporting Actress. I will keep you posted on developments....

New Holliday Grainger film project....

Excellent news! After a few months of wondering whether she was going to get a leading role in another film, Holliday Grainger has secured the part of Lucy in upcoming British vampire flick ''Hello Darkness", a role that had been vacated by friend and fellow actress Imogen Poots. Once I have more details, I will post them here.

An Oscar nod for Miss Grainger....?

Although the official list of the 2013 Academy Award nominees won't be announced until January 2013, Holliday Grainger's portrayal of Estella is certain to put her name into the arena of speculation as to which female thespians will be featured in the categories Best Actress In A Supporting Role and Best Actress In A Leading Role. She is, I am glad to say, mentioned in some of the Oscar prediction sites and blogs. Come the first month of 2013, we will know one way or the other whether Miss Grainger will be amongst the names read out for Best Supporting Acress.

One MQ pic of Miss Grainger as Estella is all they can offer....

After months of waiting, an image of Holliday as Estella has been uveiled online, but, regrettably, it is a medium quality one. I am dismayed that it wasn't a high-res photo. I have, therefore, not included it in this post, until I can find a version of this production still that is 400kb plus. I could use some help, though, in locating it.

Yet another disappointment regarding photos of Holliday Grainger as Estella....

Hi,

   Another photo from the upcoming film adaptation of Great Expectations has been officially unveiled, but it is of Ralph Fiennes as Magwitch, not of Holliday Grainger. I am starting to believe even more that the publicity surrounding her portrayal of Pip's love interest is going to be reduced to a minimum. That may sound paranoid, but I am basing this assumption on the fact that David Walliams and Jessie Cave have seen images of them as the characters they are playing unveiled, even though those characters are lesser ones than the one that Miss Grainger is playing on screen. I just don't understand why whoever is in charge of marketing is taking so long to release a photo of her as Estella.  Grrrr...it's maddening!

Still no photo of Miss Grainger in "Great Expectations".....

I am sorry to report that not a single photo of Holliday Grainger as Estella in "Great Expectations", not even an image of her on the set has appeared online. I will, of course, continue to keep asking, and, wherever necessary, keep pushing until one such promtiional still is released officially by the film company distributing it.
