What a surprise. The King's Speech is taking over the BAFTA's - how very exciting (yawn) ...
God what a Wild Bore ... but here it is - the list! I've highlighted in RED who will win and in BLUE who I want to win - in case anyone is bothered. If it's both red, assume I also want them to win.
The list is pretty boring to be honest, so flip through and see if you agree. Let's hope the Oscars is a bit more inventive, or maybe it's just been a shit year for film?
