And there you have it - the 67th Annual BAFTA Awards for Film in full. Congratulations to all of this year's winners! It looks like this is the year for both 12 Years and Gravity together. For more info: BAFTA.org. In total, Gravity won six BAFTA Awards, three for American Hustle, and two for 12 Years a Slave. Last year the big winners were Ben Affleck and Argo, which later went on to reflect a big win at the Oscars. I'm a bit surprised to see Jennifer Lawrence winning again for Best Supporting Actress over Lupita Nyong'o or even Sally Hawkins. Plus there's the Best Screenplay categories that are crazy out of whack, but overall it's mostly a solid set of winners from Britain's Academy of Film and Television Arts. Onward to the Oscars. Satisfied?
