2012 BAFTA Winners

Once again, "The Artist" proves to be an unstoppable force, this time at the 2012 British Academy Film Awards. The french silent movie won seven BAFTAs, including Best Film, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay and Best Actor (Jean Dujardin). The film is enjoying quite a hot streak after winning at the Golden Globes, the Producers Guild Awards, the Directors Guild Awards and the Screen Actors Guild Awards (Leading Role). Jean Dujardin also won the Best Actor award at the Cannes Film Festival last year. All things considered, it's easy to see why I feel that "The Artist" will be a big hit at the Academy Awards, where it stands nominated for no less than 10 awards.

Another string of predictable wins follows on the list : Mery Streep for Best Actress ("The Iron Lady"), Christopher Plummer won for Best Supporting Actor ("Beginners") and Octavia Spencer for Best Supporting Actress ("The Help"). The british spy thriller "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy" managed to score two wins, for Best British Film and Best Adapted Screenplay. The Foreign Film (Best Film Not in the English Language) category offered quite a surprise as Pedro Almodovar's "The Skin I Live in" took home the award and not the favorite, so far, the iranian drama "A Separation". I have a feeling that the Oscars will favor the iranian film, though, as Almodovar already has an Oscar for 2002s "Hable Con Ella" (Best Writing, Original Screenplay). And another (pleasant) surprise was that "Rango" won the award for Best Animated Film.

After the jump you can read the full list of BAFTA winners.
