No live blogging this year, but instead here is my list of predictions for all the categories:
BEST FILM: The Hurt Locker
OUTSTANDING BRITISH FILM: An Education
OUTSTANDING DEBUT BY A BRITISH WRITER, DIRECTOR OR PRODUCER: Duncan Jones (Director – Moon)
BEST DIRECTOR: Lone Scherfig (An Education)
BEST ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY: Up
BEST ADAPTED SCREENPLAY: In The Loop
BEST FILM NOT IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE: Let The Right One In
BEST ANIMATED FILM: Coraline
BEST LEADING ACTOR: Jeff Bridges (Crazy Heart)
BEST LEADING ACTRESS: Carey Mulligan (An Education)
BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR: Christoph Waltz (Inglorious Basterds)
BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS: Mo’nique (Precious: Based On The Novel Push By Sapphire)
BEST MUSIC: Up

ORANGE RISING STAR AWARD: Kristen Stewart
Some of them are guesses, some of them are films I want to win and some are films I think will probably win. I’ll update after it’s finished with the results but here’s a film breakdown:
An Education – 3
Avatar – 3
The Hurt Locker – 2
Up – 2
I really don’t think any one film will dominate this year and hopefully Avatar won’t win any storytelling awards…
UPDATE: I got ten awards right. I’m quite surprised An Education didn’t do well but otherwise there’s not much to complain about.
