British?

Interesting clarification note on the London Film Critics' Circle Awards which were given out this evening at the BFI, Southbank.

The British categories refer to the British Isles, and therefore films, filmmakers, actors and actresses from both the UK and Ireland are eligible.

Could be an interesting talking point at the IFTAs this weekend!
