Our Predictions on who the BAFTA winners will be

With this years film BAFTA nominations announced today, it felt fitting that we give you our predictions on who will pickup the awards in the feature film categories.

2009 was enough great year for cinema and you the film lovers clearly thought so too, with the highest number of admissions since 2002!

Whether you think it’s fair or not, we believe Avatar will run away with the prizes and in all honestly you have to say deservedly so. With anything that has had such hype there will always be the critics but the millions and millions of people going to see Avatar every day can’t exactly be wrong.

Don’t forget to comment below if you have your own views on who you think should/will win an award.
