BEST BRITISH FILM
ATONEMENT – Tim Bevan/Eric Fellner/Paul Webster/Joe Wright/Christopher Hampton

(the winners are in bold).
I'm sure there must be some rationale behind it, but I'm not seeing it
Also, disappointed at the lack of foreign language films. I was hoping the BAFTAs would be at least a little less parochial than the oscars. _________________ "Every time we witness an injustice and do not act, we train our character to be passive in its presence." – Julian Assange |

After watching no country for old men I feel they actually watch these shows whilst taking acid before they do their votes. |

yeah, whatever guys
Franki, it's basically the British equivalent of the Oscars.
What I'm really struggling to figure out, I guess, is the logic in the section I quoted. How is it that a British film won the "best film" category, but didn't win the "best British film" category? It's kind of mind-boggling ![Laughing](images/smiles/icon_lol.gif) _________________ "Every time we witness an injustice and do not act, we train our character to be passive in its presence." – Julian Assange |
