By Michael Schwartz
The BAFTA’s will be held this weekend in a special two-day event from April 10th-April 11th. As one of the last major precursors (with Academy crossover) they can sometimes help sway our final Oscar predictions or reinforce our beliefs heading into Oscar night. This year though may be different due to new voting systems which were put into place. We’ll have to wait and see how it all goes but for now, we have our final predictions down below for you to check out along with our contest for you to predict the winners. All categories must be predicted with the submission deadline being the day of the awards, before the winners are announced.
Click below to enter in your picks for the contest. Best of luck and enjoy the show!
