So tonight is the 2012 BAFTAs to be hosted by Stephen Fry and because I love to be proved wrong I have decided to offer up my predictions for who I think will win at what is often a ceremony full of surprises as the winners tend to substantially differ from the American awards.
Martin Scorsese has been selected to receive the BAFTA Fellowship while John Hurt will receive the Outstanding British Contribution to cinema award. But here are my predictions for the main categories.
BEST FILM
The Artist
Outstanding British Film
Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy
Outstanding Debut
Tyrannosaur - Paddy Considine.
Best Director
Michel Hazanavicius - The Artist
Best Original Screenplay
Midnight in Paris - Woody Allen
Best Adapted Screenplay
The Help
Best film not in the English Language
A Separation
Best Leading Actor
My heart says Gary Oldman, but my head says Jean DuJardin. We shall see.
Best Leading Actress
I'm going to play it risky and say that Berenice Bejo may just snatch this one for The Artist.
Best Supporting Actor
Christopher Plummer - Beginners
Best Supporting Actress
Jessica Chastian - The Help
Orange Rising Star Award
Eddie Redmayne
Now I could be completely wrong but I am interested to know what you think. Let me know your predictions and who you hope to see presenting those awards!! My only wish is for Tom Hardy!! :)
