We\u2019re tackling our first Shakespeare adaptation this week with Kenneth Branagh\u2019s Much Ado About Nothing<\/em>. After launching immediately into Oscar\u2019s good graces with his directorial debut Henry V<\/em>, Branagh returned to the Bard with this lighter and more star-studded adaptation – but couldn\u2019t match that previous film\u2019s favor. With a cast featuring Emma Thompson, Denzel Washington, Keanu Reeves, and Michael Keaton, this film instead remains as a delightful and sexy good time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

This week, we look at Branagh\u2019s long and category spanning history with Oscar and his evolution towards a studio director of franchise films. We also dive into his affair with Helena Bonham Carter, Emma Thompson\u2019s double nominations in 1993, and the 1993 Golden Globe Musical\/Comedy nominees.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Topics also include the recent film history of Shakespeare adaptations, Thompson\u2019s \u201creveal\u201d on the Ellen <\/em>sitcom, and Imelda Staunton as beer wench.<\/p>\n
