Bafta Winners

Hello

Here is a list of the winners, and after I was requested to, the results to my predications!

BEST FILM

SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE – Christian Colson
I wanted this to win, but I thought Ben Button would, as I thought that would take a clean sweep of everything!

OUTSTANDING BRITISH FILM

MAN ON WIRE – Simon Chinn, James Marsh
Swing and a miss on this one. I wanted Slumdog to win, but I thought Mamma Mia would, purely for its box office returns.

THE CARL FOREMAN AWARD - for Special Achievement by a British Director, Writer or Producer for their First Feature Film

STEVE McQUEEN (Director/Writer) – Hunger
Another one predicted wrong on my part! I wanted Slumdog to win, and I thought Mamma Mia would.

DIRECTOR

SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE – Danny Boyle
I wanted good old Danny Boy to win, but I thought Ben Button would get it.

ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY

IN BRUGES – Martin McDonagh
Finally got one right, but I wanted Milk to win.

ADAPTED SCREENPLAY

SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE – Simon Beaufoy
Another one I wanted to win correctly, but thought Ben Button would take it.

FILM NOT IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE
I'VE LOVED YOU SO LONG – Yves Marmion, Philippe Claudel
Completely got this one wrong, I guessed Waltz with Bashir would take it.

ANIMATED FILM

WALL•E – Andrew Stanton
Two correct now, but I wanted Waltz with Bashir to win.

LEADING ACTOR

MICKEY ROURKE – The Wrestler
I should have changed my opinion after seeing it, but I did want this to win. Perhaps I’ve put too much faith in Ben Button and Brad Pitt…….

LEADING ACTRESS

KATE WINSLET – The Reader
Woohoo, another one correct!

SUPPORTING ACTOR

HEATH LEDGER – The Dark Knight
I’m on a role now, COUNT IT!

SUPPORTING ACTRESS

PENÉLOPE CRUZ – Vicky Cristina Barcelona
O, never mind, missed this one completely but in my defense, it only came out on the 6th feb and isnt in the cinemas up here! I thought Amy Adams would win, but I wanted Marisa Tomei to steel it.

MUSIC

SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE – A. R. Rahman
Another mistake, I thought Mamma Mia would take it, but I wanted Wall E. to.

CINEMATOGRAPHY

SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE – Anthony Dod Mantle
Another (insert Family Fortunes type incorrect answer noise) I thought Ben Button would win, but I wanted (and quite frankly this should have) the Dark Knight to win.

EDITING

SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE – Chris Dickens
Im starting to think I suck at this cos I thought Ben Button to win but I wanted the Dark Knight to.

PRODUCTION DESIGN

THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON – Donald Graham Burt, Victor J. Zolfo
Ben Button finally wins one, and I’ve guessed that Slumdog will win, but I secretly wanted the Dark Knight to.

COSTUME DESIGN

THE DUCHESS – Michael O'Connor
Another mistake on my part, I thought the Ben Button would win, but again I wanted the Dark Knight to.

SOUND

SLUMDOG MILLIONARE – Glenn Freemantle, Resul Pookutty, Richard Pryke, Tom Sayers, Ian Tapp
I wanted Bond to win, but I’m happy to say I predicted correctly.

SPECIAL VISUAL EFFECTS

THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON – Eric Barba, Craig Barron, – Nathan McGuinness, Edson Williams
I wanted Dark Knight to win this, but that’s two in a row correct for predictions.

MAKE UP & HAIR

THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON – Jean Black, Colleen Callaghan
I wanted Dark Knight to win this, but that’s three in a row correct for predictions.

SHORT ANIMATION
WALLACE AND GROMIT: A MATTER OF LOAF AND DEATH – Steve Pegram, Nick Park, Bob Baker
Somebody stop me, that’s 4 in a row!

SHORT FILM

SEPTEMBER – Stewart le Maréchal, Esther May Campbell
I said I didn’t have a clue, so I’m not counting this as a break in correct guessing sequence!

ORANGE RISING STAR AWARD

NOEL CLARKE
Never mind my streak is over but I did want him to win. I thought Michael Cera would take it.

OUTSTANDING BRITISH CONTRIBUTION TO CINEMA

PINEWOOD STUDIOS AND SHEPPERTON STUDIOS

ACADEMY FELLOWSHIP
