This year BAFTA Nominees’ list, comes from LA Times. Usually, the British Academy of Film and Television Arts Awards Ceremony, takes place before the Oscars, this year, it will be on Sunday, February 16’th. They have four categories outstanding the fact that this is a British thing, not American, otherwise it would have been a poor copycat of the Oscars. So, not much imagination here, as well. I have watched a few of the movies en vogue, and I sadly confess that I’m not impressed at all. But I haven’t seen all, so there will be enough time to talk about them, before any of those ceremonies. All pics are borrowed from imdb.com.
