BAFTA

The seating arrangements for this weekend’s BAFTAs (photo: John Phillips/Getty Images) Will BAFTA co-sign with the DGA or the PGA? With the Golden Globes or the Critics’ Choice? Little from column A, little from column B, perhaps? Their Best Film lineup, only 5 (unlike the Academy’s 8 this year), are all Oscar-nominated. BAFTA’s Best Director lineup matches Oscars’ 4/5, with …

The Favourite BAFTA nominations will be announced at 7:25am GMT – that’s 11:25pm and 2:25am for the west and east coast of the US, respectively. I fully expect The Favourite to clear double digits and be the nomination leader. I’m predicting 13, hitting nearly every category save Sound, Special Visual Effects and Music. I think Nicholas Hoult could sneak in …

BAFTA is this weekend and, like the Oscars, there’s a lot that seems up in the air – especially in the top category. There are legitimate cases to be had for Dunkirk, The Shape of Water or Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri to capture the Brits’ top film prize.

The BAFTA nominations are right around the corner (tomorrow, 7:30am UK time), hot off the heels of the Golden Globes last night and I have my thoughts and predictions for what’s getting in and what might get snubbed.

La La Land was nominated for a record-tying 14 Oscar nominations; Arrival earned eight, Nocturnal Animals just one – amazingly, not one that it earned at …

  The BAFTAs are this weekend (that’s the British Academy of Film and Television Arts) and in this topsy-turvy awards season we could see another tide change or the solidifying of the new and final frontrunner for the Oscars. Of course I’m talking about The Revenant and that it’s snagged the lead from both Spotlight and The Big Short after …

  We’re just one week away from the announcement of the nominees for the 69th British Academy Film Awards, more commonly known as the BAFTAs, and I have what I think are the most likely names you’ll here. BAFTA has been pretty closely aligned with the Oscars now for quite a while but they do throw a curveball once in a while. …

The British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) awards are this Sunday and it finds itself with Oscar bloggers on the edge of their seats over the possibility of Birdman continuing its industry winning streak. After its PGA and SAG wins many of us have turned the corner on the possibility of Birdman taking the big prize at the …
