- Summary: LONDON, ENGLAND, UNITED KINGDOM (JANUARY 5, 2017) (REUTERS) ****WARNING CONTAINS FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY*** VARIOUS FILM CRITIC JAMES KING POSING FOR PICTURES (SOUNDBITE) (English) FILM CRITIC, JAMES KING, SAYING: ''I think it's a really varied list, I like the fact that there are actors from different backgrounds, different age groups, different countries who have appeared in wildly different kinds of films - so it seems to represent and seems to cover a lot of bases this year.'' PHOTOGRAPHERS VARIOUS NOEL CLARKE POSING FOR PICTURES (SOUNDBITE) (English) ACTOR AND DIRECTOR, NOEL CLARKE, SAYING: ''I think with this award it's a two stage thing cos it's an amazing feeling to know that your peers, people in the industry, and sometimes in an industry where you're like, you're not sure if you fit, and people in the industry have nominated you, that's an amazing thing and then what makes it doubly special is that after they have given you the nomination it goes to the public and for the people, the people who get up and pay for the cinema for them to say this is the person we have chosen I think that's amazing.'' NOEL CLARK POSING WITH BAFTA (SOUNDBITE) (English) ACTOR AND DIRECTOR, NOEL CLARKE, SAYING: ''What it does is it provides you with a platform, it provides you with, because other countries around the world, you know this is the bench mark a BAFTA - you win an Oscar in America and cos America's ideology has spread everywhere that counts like massively, but BAFTA is the Academy Awards of the UK so you win a BAFTA - that's a bench mark - so you can go to any other country and (be) seen as a BAFTA winner and that immediately gets you in doors, like immediately, and I think over here, I think winning the award like I said earlier, in terms of my category you had like Michael Fassbender and Rebecca Hall - they didn't need it, there is always someone on the list that kinda needs it more than the others, they were always going to be who they are - but I needed it and I think winning it has kept me working all these years later.''
