Mike Leigh not so 'Lucky' at BAFTAs


January 07, 2009 Benjamin Button and Richard Nixon will have an edge over Mike Leigh when the British Academy of Film and Television Arts dishes out its prizes next month. Leigh and his "Happy-Go-Lucky" will not be in the running for nods in either the best film or director categories at February's Orange British Academy Film Awards, an absence that has prompted whispers from those who consider it a major omission. [...] the helmer's latest effort likely will turn up in the best British film category when the full list of noms is announced Jan. 15.
