65th Bafta Awards - The Winners

So I was mostly wrong i my prediction post a few weeks back but I managed to correctly guess a couple. Like I said then, this has been a fantastic year for cinema and I was hard picked to pick a winner for any of the categories. The category I disagree with is the Rising Star award, I’ve never heard of the guy and there were a lot more deserving people in the category imho.

It looks like The Artist is on for a clean sweep at The Oscars next month but maybe we’ll see some surprises yet.
