ITV has announced a glut of new content as part of a spring showcase, including revealing that it has greenlit a true-crime drama series on John Darwin, the former prison officer who was jailed for faking his own death.
All3Media-backed Story Films is making four-part series The Thief, His Wife and the Canoe, which is based on an unpublished manuscript written by journalist David Leigh.

The British Academy of Film and Television Arts (or BAFTA, the British version of the Oscars) has crowned "The King's Speech" as the year's best picture. "Speech" also took home Outstanding British Film, Best Original Screenplay, Best Actor for Colin Firth and the Best Supporting acting awards for Geoffrey Rush and Helena Bonham Carter and Best Original Music, for a total of seven awards, which is easily the most won by any one film.
The British Academy also honored Natalie Portman for Best Actress for "Black Swan" and David Fincher and Aaron Sorkin for their directing and writing efforts on "The Social Network." "Inception" star Tom Hardy won the BAFTA Rising Star award, Christopher Lee was honored with an Academy fellowship and the Harry Potter series received an Outstanding British Contribution to Cinema recognition.

The British Academy of Film and Television Arts has announced its full list of nominees for its annual awards -- think the British Oscars. "The King's Speech" leads the way with 14 nominations, followed by "Black Swan" with 12, "Inception" with nine and "True Grit" with eight nominations, which is eight more than it received from the Golden Globes.
Interestingly, Barbara Hershey got the Best Supporting Actress nom from "Black Swan" and not Mila Kunis, who was the nominee in that category for both the Critics Choice and Golden Globes. Also absent from the nomination list is Melissa Leo, who has won Best Supporting Actress from both the Critics Choice and the Golden Globe for "The Fighter." Her co-star Amy Adams is nominated.
Pete Postlethwaite got a posthumous nomination for Best Supporting Actor for his work in "The Town." For Best Leading Actor, Javier Bardem scored his first major award nomination for...

London -- Tom Hooper's "The King's Speech" is in pole position to be crowned the big winner at this year's Orange British Academy Film Awards, presented by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts.There is nothing stuttering in the nomination race for the Colin Firth starrer about King George VI with the movie securing 14 slots on the potential kudos count sheet.Hooper secures a best director nomination and the picture a best film tilt. Speech will compete with the David Fincher-directed Facebook drama "The Social Network," balletic thriller "Black Swan," from Darren Aronofsky, Christopher Nolan's sci-fi epic "Inception" and the Coen brothers' western remake "True Grit" for the best film nod.In the best director category, Danny Boyle could secure his second BAFTA director nod after Slumdog for his efforts with his adventurous biopic dramatization "127 Hours" if he fends off challenges from Hooper, Aronofsky, Nolan and Fincher.
