Congratulations are in order once again for Johnny Depp, Kate Winslet, Freddie Highmore, Marc Forster, and all who contributed to the feast for the imagination that is FINDING NEVERLAND. The results of the British Broadcasting Company’s poll for “Film of the Year” are in, and will be reported by Jonathan Ross on the UK television program “Film 2004” tonight, December 22nd, at 11:35 p.m. The blockbuster THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RETURN OF THE KING took first place, followed by ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND (so a double congratulations to the luminous Ms. Winslet). FINDING NEVERLAND placed third–a wonderful tribute for this warm-hearted and unforgettable film.

Rounding out the top ten were LOST IN TRANSLATION, HARRY POTTER AND THE PRISONER OF AZKABAN, SHAUN OF THE DEAD, HERO, THE INCREDIBLES, SPIDERMAN 2, and COLLATERAL. UK Zoners, set your VCRs! The Zone thanks Endora for the timely television reminder and DeepinDepp for posting the BBC story on the News & Views forum.
