Claudia Winkleman is named Film 2010 host

I know that a lot of people don't like Ross, but I thought he did a great job of presenting Film. Can't say that I think Winkleman is an obvious choice.

Kermode was my choice too, but he is the obvious replacement. My only reservation about him is that I don't think he would view something trashy and fun, like a Stallone film, in the same way that Ross could.

Am surprised at the vitriol against her, I think she's very good.

I think the point is that no one has ever considered her to be a fan of film. Personally, after Kermode, I think they should have considered some of the broadsheet/internet film critics. I'm sure some of them would be more than capable.

With a History of Art degree from Cambridge she's not your average dumb bimbo; do you all know for a fact that she has absolutely no interest in film?

I don't think anyone said that, it's just that she isn't known as a film enthusiast.
