2010 BAFTA Award Winners!

Aight the BAFTA's just happened and it was quite surprising actually. The results were nearly the opposite from the winners at the Golden Globes last month. James Cameron's Avatar only took home one win for Production Design while his ex-wife Kathryn Bigelow and her film The Hurt Locker swept the awards like crazy.

In the acting categories, the Europeans dominated with Carey Mulligan winning Best Actress, Colin Firth for Best Actor and Christoph Waltz for Best Supporting Actor. But Mo'Nique continues her winning streak picking up the Best Supporting Actress award.
The unexpected winners in here is really making predictions for the Oscars incredibly tough. So like.. is it going to be Avatar or Hurt Locker now? You know what I say? Screw them both and give the damn Best Picture to District 9!

  1. Rising Star Award should be given to Carey Mulligan, NOT KIRSTEN STEWART!!
    I have yet to finish watching An Education (due to my busy schedule) but I can really say that Carey Mulligan really do some serious acting! (unlike Kirsten Stewart who looked like she is stoned half the movie and screamed like a banshee when her vampire boyfriend dumped her.)
    Just my two cent ;)
