Who Wore It Best – The Gold Masks
Lumon isn’t the only company with a Choreography and Merriment department 😉 The masquerade dance at Court is lively and full of energy with a sense of mystery and excitement, as all the dancers wear beautiful golden masks while the guests try to figure out who is who. Sign me up for that party.
Life of the Party – Henry VIII
This social butterfly doesn’t want the party end. Henry is still wearing his Turkish regalia days after the party has ended. Like the BBC states, “There’s nothing worse when they’re not as excited about your outfit as you are.” LOL
Best Cinematography With a Badass Quote – Shaftesbury Scene
This scene between Thomas Cromwell and the Head of the Abbey at Shaftesbury was a beautiful shot, and filmed at Gloucester Cathedral in Gloucestershire. The scene reveals an empty hall made of cold, hardened marble as arched buttresses shrink smaller and smaller the further your eye carries toward the darkened entrance in the far background. With her austere stare the Sister coldly cautions Cromwell, “I give you warning. And you can carry the warning to the King. I will not surrender this house. Not this year, not next, nor any year this side of Heaven.” NOT FOR SALE, MISTER! For more Wolf Hall: The Mirror and the Light filming locations, visit here.
