BAFTA Nominations!

Well, award season for films is upon us, with the golden globes, and now the BAFTA's. I love awards ceremonys as we can really celebrate amazing talent on and off screen. But I love the BAFTA's especially as we can truly celebrate pure british talent. So the nomination list has been released, and I did something similar with the Golden Globe nominations, where I shared them with you and I give my verdict on who would win and it gives you the chance to guess who will win a golden face on February 8th.
From the buzz and hype over the recent release of the nominations, "The Grand Budapest Hotel" looks as though it will bag many awards with 11 nominations! However "The Theory of Everything" and "Birdman" both have 10 and are very strong candidates to bag those awards. However, we could be suprised and will have to wait until February 8th to see who indeed has won a golden face. AND IT WILL BE PRESENTED BY THE WONDERFUL SAM CLAFLIN AND STEPHEN FRY!

A very, very brillant range on nominees and I am looking forward to seeing who will bag a BAFTA because on some catagories I really cannot call it. The BAFTA's will take place on 8th February at the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden. 

Tell me who you think will win? Who are your favourites? :-)

Thankyou so much for reading and I hoped this interested you or you enjoyed reading!
