<\/a>\"BAFTA<\/a>Here are my predictions for the major categories\u00a0at the BAFTAs tonight:<\/p>\n

BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR: Although its a strong field – Tom Wilkinson could have an outside shot – I can’t see anything other than a win for Javier Bardem<\/strong> (No Country for Old Men).<\/p>\n

BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS: A tough one to call. Cate Blanchett (I’m Not There) is the Oscar front runner but I think all candidates have a reasonable shot here. I’ll play safe and go for Cate Blanchett<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

BEST ACTOR: The red hot favourite here is Daniel Day-Lewis<\/strong> (There Will Be Blood) and I see no reason to disagree.<\/p>\n

BEST ACTRESS: A large chuck of the British media would love a win for glamorous Kiera Knightley (Atonement)\u00a0but I think Julie Christie<\/strong> (Away from Her) will deservedly get it.<\/p>\n

BEST DIRECTOR: Another tough one to call. If Atonement starts picking up awards Joe Wright definitely has a chance and Paul Thomas Anderson (There Will Be Blood) is also a\u00a0strong contender. But I think The Coen Brothers <\/strong>(No Country for Old Men) will get it.<\/p>\n

BEST FILM: With this being a British event, logic would appear to dictate a win for Atonement but I think (and hope)\u00a0the sheer quality of No Country Old Men <\/strong>will prevail.<\/p>\n

BEST BRITISH FILM: Atonement <\/strong>has to win here if it doesn’t pick up Best Film although watch out for This is England. (This has always struck me as a dodgy category – wouldn’t it just look silly if Atonement won both?)<\/p>\n

I’ll post the winners as soon as they come through.<\/p>\n
