OSCAR WATCH: BAFTA Predictions


Tomorrow is the last stop on the televised precursor circuit and it may well indicate some changing winds in various categories. With a few strong frontrunners missing (McConaughey, Leto, Jonze) this is a tough set of awards to predict. So many of these feel wide open. As a result, I don't expect much success with my predictions. I'm taking a risk with this strong showing for "12 Years A Slave" but as they say, go big or go home.
