As has been the pattern for the past few years, BAFTA will be a massive pointer towards the Oscars...
Since 2005 they have correctly predicted the best actress winner in all but one occasion...
2005 Witherspoon
2006 Mirren
2007 Cotillard
2008 Winslet
2010 Portman
2011 Streep
that's a hell of a record...
HOWEVER - with nominees they always seem to include some crazy/unexpected choices:
Zhang (house of flying daggers), Weisz (constant gardener), Ronan (the lovely bones), Moore (TKAAR), Rapace (dragon tatoo), Bejo (the artist)
so I would not be surprised to see Dench, Hunt, Mirren, Smith or Weisz turn up at BAFTA...Ugh
(if Weisz turns up I will have to totally rethink predictions...is she even eligable?)
I don't think Weisz is eligible for BAFTA. I believe her film was a 2011 UK release.
Will Oscar have Riva Fever?
I don't think Weisz is eligable...otherwise I would be predicting her.
Weisz is not eligible. She was eligible last year.
I totally forgot that BAFTA (with the time zone difference) is being announced tomrw night.
for me it will be 1:30am which is 7:30am in London tomrw night![]()
And in 14 hours the Goya nominations where The impossible is going to get nominated for everything, lol.

I am unwisely predicting Beasts to do really well at the BAFTAs (Actress, Supporting Actor, Screenplay), but I feel like I shouldn't even try since they're gonna do their thing and I'm gonna fail anywayBut hopefully Lawrence, Chastain, Cotillard and Riva get in, as that would constitute an amazing 4/5 from my ballot, minus the ineligible Weisz. The fifth spot, just not Mirren please, cause that seals the deal for the Oscars and I really feel she's the only one in the race that does absolutely nothing.
I know I've got a big ego, I really don't know why it's such a big deal, though.
I know. I probably was off-subject, but I was reffering to the Oscars![]()
