OSCAR WATCH: BAFTA Awards


As I suspected when making my predictions, today's BAFTA Awards were set to raise some question marks throughout many Oscar races. That's exactly how it turned out, with a few prizes going to contenders that aren't even Oscar nominated! The big winner of the day was Gravity with 6 awards, but 12 Years won where it mattered - Best Picture. It's still a very competitive season, so I think we're gonna have a very interesting Oscar night. This year I got 14 out of 22 predictions correct. Here's the full rundown of winners:
