Look, we’ve read the news – we know all about Run For Your Wife only taking £602 on its opening weekend, and about Danny Dyer (probably) threatening to cut the faces off everyone at the distribution company in retribution, apples’n’pears, blah.

With the Oscars almost upon us once again, we at Best For Film thought that we might profit from a review of some of the highlights said gushing award ceremony has provided us with over the years. For the sake of variety, this laudable list shall include both the famous and the infamous, the highs and the lows, the sugar and the bitters.

The Paperboy is a delicious piece of abundant cinematic melodrama set in sultry Florida in the summer of 1969. From writer and director Lee Daniels, who last brought us Precious, the film is based on the true events surrounding the murder of a sheriff in a small town, and a team of journalists and their associates who attempt to get to the truth.
