So in about three hours the awards season will step up a notch as we reach the Baftas, Britain's flagship film awards ceremony and the final send-off for the hopeful movies before the ones that everyone wants, the Oscars. Who wins tonight will give us the biggest clue as to who'll be taking home the golden statues in a fortnight's time. The Baftas are usually, but not always, synchronous with the Academy Awards; like last year when
Kathryn Bigelow's
The Hurt Locker beat out her ex-husband
James Cameron's
Avatar for Best Picture in London, and subsequently went on to repeat the feat in Los Angeles two weeks later.
So here are our picks for who'll be receiving plaudits tonight in the shape of a golden mask, and who we think deserve the awards.
