Me, too JackWade, me too. I had hoped someone else here on the forums would have seen it also to verify the statement. I had to pick my jaw back up off the floor when I heard it.Absolutely ridiculous. That irks me beyond belief.I believe it was on Monday night that Entertainment Tonight (the nightly magazine TV show) was interviewing some talking-head about the upcoming Oscar nominations, and when it came to Casino Royale, the person said something to the effect of "The Academy would not be able to show themselves in public if they ever nominated a James Bond Film."
But, then again, we don't love Bond movies for the sake of Oscar nominations, do we.

The more i read this the more it annoys me.
I can't imagine anyone of the BAFTA's people saying a similar thing.........
if they ever did, they would be torn to pieces by the British tabloids,
and banished from this land.

Touche' English Agent. And rightly so. After all, Bond is yours.
As for the ET interview, it was the night before the Oscars were announced. I just now went to their website and looked at the past weeks' listings, and nothing was there. It was a short interview with someone I have no idea of, but must have been some type of insider. It was a short quip about Casino Royale amoung many other movies discussed. We had it on the kitchen TV as we were preparing for dinner. I was gob-smacked.

It was just a throwaway remark.
Maybe, just maybe, the academy members loved Casino Royale, they just didn't think it was one of the 5 best films of the year. Is that really so hard to take?

No kbz, I'm not getting out my nitro pills over this (aka heart medecine). 
But it was not a "throwaway remark," it was a definitive statement by an industry talking-head insider on a popular entertainment television show who was drawing the proverbial line in the sand about Bond films.
I just wish I wasn't the only CBn-er who saw it.
