The BAFTA Awards, along with the DGA Awards, will be held this Saturday, April 10. They are going to be mostly unpredictable, though I would imagine you will see a win for Nomadland and director Chloe Zhao. Wide open will be the acting categories, of course, and all of the non-jury-selected categories. Some of this could inform the Oscars, or not. This year, everything is up in the air.
But you can do your worse (or best):
I have the following predictions: Palme d'or: Leila's Brothers (Saeed Roustaee) Grand prix: Close (Lukas Dhont) Director: Cristian Mungiu (R.M.N.)…
Decision to Leave has slightly better reviews than Close so far. Debruge/Ehrlich panned the latter..!
while it's nice to praise Liotta on this day, let's be honest, Al Pacino should have won Best Lead Actor…
CODA and The Departed are exceptions. Most American remakes of foreign films go nowhere close to critical acclaim or Oscar…
Funny trivia... if Pacifiction wins Palm d'Or, it'll be the first time that a spanish director wins the prize... oddly…
