WELL! BAFTA nominees list is out and it seems that The King's Speech and Black Swan lead the nominations. The Social Network does really well between the British and the Brits are in majority in the nominations. The Girl With Dragon Tattoo shines between some Oscar-locks movies and Noomi Rapace may be the winner of the Best Actress in a Leading Role prize (Jamie Bell (Billy Elliot) and Scarlett Johansson (Lost In Translation) won a BAFTA award each one in spite of not being nominated for an Oscar) and the same may happen to Hailee Steinfeld for True Grit (Yes, maybe Portman will miss a win in the BAFTA Awards). I'm shocked that Nicole Kidman wasn't nominated, but it may be due to the fact of Rabbit Hole didn't get an United Kingdom release , I don't know. Finally, Javier Bardem seems to get some recognizment for his performance in Biutiful between the "BIG" awards. And.. hey! Why didn't The Social Network get a nod for its score in the Best Music category?!
The BAFTA Awards tend to "benefit" British movies, so The King's Speech may have the Best Film award guaranteed... Here's the nominees list with my winners predictions with *:
