Bafta Predictions

So I'm settling in for a night with the Baftas and thought I'd get some predictions down.  

I'm going to write a proper news round-up post while I'm watching.  I'm really behind with the films that are nominated this year.  That's what comes from not working in a cinema any more.  I'm going to try to catch-up before the Oscar's though.  

I love Twitter when events like this happen.  I don't have a good enough phone for me to use it all the time but it makes things like this really exciting.  News from the red carpet, as it happens, from normal people in the crowd is great.  As well as pictures of the dresses before the airbrushers get their hands on them!

Anyway here are my picks.

Although I'd love Moon to win!  Sam Rockwell should be up for an acting nod but that's a rant for another day...
