The BAFTA Awards are always an interesting mix of names and most often I feel you could take the Oscars and the BAFTAs and mix ’em up and come up with a pretty good list of noms. However, the BAFTAs are following suit with the American press so far as they choose not to include Children of Men in any of their above the line categories. Instead it is once again the very deserving cinematography nom as well as production design and special effects, the last of which I don’t necessarily agree with.
Oh well, what can I do? It looks like yet another year where the award season leaves me wanting. We’ll see as the Golden Globes are only a few days away. For now, check out the BAFTA noms below.
