When speaking with Another Year star Lesley Manville, it’s hard to not walk away with the impression that she feels this is her big break. Sure, her career has spanned over 30 years — and Another Year is her sixth film with Academy Award nominated director Mike Leigh — but, as Manville points out, no other performance of hers has ever generated this much buzz in the United States during awards season. An awards season that has already garnered Best Actress accolades from the National Board of Review.

The nod to structure in Another Year , Mike Leigh’s latest rumpled, rambling character study, frames it with a gentle irony. A social portraitist known for his regional specialties and organic development process — his scripts are gleaned from improvisational sessions with actors, in this case a central trio comprising a long-married couple and their wobbly third wheel — narrative organization is notoriously low on Leigh’s list of priorities. And so while the film is divided into the four seasons of another passing — wonderful, wasted — year, the time-keeping device serves mainly to highlight how nature shames those of us who remain little changed with its constant, show-offy segues.

You might think Sally Hawkins got nominated for an Oscar after winning the Golden Globe for Mike Leigh’s Happy-Go-Lucky in 2009, but you would be wrong. Despite a winning lead performance and the backing of both critics and the Hollywood Foreign Press, Hawkins was a bridesmaid in the Best Actress race that winter. Of course, being snubbed once by Oscar doesn’t mean Hawkins is ready to pack it up; she’s back on the awards circuit this fall for her performance as a striking (and striking) autoworker in Made in Dagenham .

The Golden Globe nominations were the usual melange of oddities and head-shakers, but one snub has many prognosticators grumbling : Where was the love for Mike Leigh’s Another Year ? Remember: The Golden Globes thrust Sally Hawkins into the limelight after awarding her Best Actress in 2008 for her performance in Leigh’s Happy-Go-Lucky . This year, even though Another Year ‘s Lesley Manville just took hope the top prize at the National Board of Review awards, Leigh’s critically adored film — a story about a seemingly happy married couple that is surrounded by sorrowful personalities — was shut out of the nominations altogether. Was Leigh outraged over his film’s exclusion from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association party?
