Is 12 Years A Slave director Steve McQueen mad that he didn't get a screenwriting credit?

Movie News: The awkward interplay between 12 Years A Slave’s screenwriter and director at the Oscars has sparked rumors of a rift at the heart of the movie that was the star of the night.

Director Steve McQueen and screenwriter John Ridley looked less than pleased to see each other do well, with a series of apparent snubs to each other as the statues were given out.

As Ridley was announced as the winner of best screenplay, McQueen gave a stilted slow hand clap as the rest of the room burst into applause.

And  in return, Ridley gave McQueen a very clear cold shoulder as he bypassed the film's director completely when he went towards the stage.

Matt Smith cast in Pride and Prejudice and Zombies

Former 'Doctor Who' star Matt Smith has been cast to appear in 'Pride and Prejudice and Zombies'

Matt Smith has been cast to appear in 'Pride and Prejudice and Zombies'.

The former 'Doctor Who' star is the latest big name to be added to the eagerly-away movie, which is an adaptation of Seth Grahame-Smith's book that parodies Jane Austen's novel 'Pride and Prejudice'.

Among those set to appear alongside Smith in the film is 'Downton Abbey' star Lily James, who will play the role of Elizabeth Bennet, who would rather defend the countryside against zombies than settle for a life of tranquillity.

In the film, Smith will play the role of a parson who proposes marriage to Elizabeth, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The film will also feature the likes of Douglas Booth, Jack Huston - who has just been cast in the 'Ben Hur' remake - and Sam Riley.

Production on the film is set to start on September 24, with the release date scheduled for 2015.

Meanwhile, Smith said earlier this year that he will return to 'Doctor Who'.

The actor bowed out of his role as the titular Time Lord in last year's Christmas special, but he can't wait for the next special anniversary episode so he can reprise his role.

Speaking at this year's Calgary Expo fan convention, he reportedly said: ''I'm just waiting for the next anniversary. I spoke to Steven [Moffat, executive producer] the other day and said, 'What's the quickest one we can do?' ''
