And the winner is......


It is that time of year again when all the awards are won for the fantastic films that have been made during the last 12 months. It has been a fantastic and groundbreaking year, with the likes of 'Avatar', 'The Hurt Locker', 'Precious' and 'Up' all being widely received as some of the best films of 2010!

The British Film industry has been represented brilliantly with some fantastic talent both young and old! 'An Education' and its leading actress, Carey Mulligan has drawn high praise and her performance which has won her nominations for both a Bafta and an Oscar! At last night’s Bafta’s ceremony she was the lucky recipient of the Best Actress role, while also being up for best newcomer. We predict a bright future for this young, British Starlet!

While Ms Mulligan was filming the award winning ‘An Education’, Unitbase.co.uk was on hand to help out with its production by sourcing a location for a one week shoot. Inglis Barracks was perfect for scenes were based at a Heathrow hotel and to get this period style look, Inglis was perfect! The officer's mess at Inglis Barracks was used for these scenes and Camilla Stephenson, the location manager, thought it was a perfect location!

Unitbase.co.uk was also involved in some of the other British success stories of last night’s Bafta’s. ‘In The Loop’ was nominated for Outstanding British Film, but unfortunately lost out to the amazing ‘Fish Tank’ Nevertheless, Operations Director of Unitbase.co.uk, James Crawley oversaw ‘In The Loop’ utilise some brilliant locations a the Swakleys House, a magnificent manor house that doubled for areas of 10 Downing Street and some UK governmental offices. ‘In The Loop’ also built a huge set in the studio at Inglis Barracks, which became home to some American CIA offices and Mr Soprano himself, James Gandolfini.

The British Film industry is as strong as ever and Unitbase.co.uk loves it!
