BAFTA Predix

Does The King's Speech have this locked down or can a Social surprise throw another wrench into this crazy award season? Supporting actress is probably the category to watch. Most are predicting Carter (as am I), but if Adams does pull a victory here, I could see her taking the Oscar as well. Melissa Leo isn't nominated here, so we won't be able to gage how much damage her personal campaign has done. Lesley Manville might pull out a surprise win. Who knows!

Interesting to note that 3 years ago, Atonement lost British Film but won Best Film. Is it possible King's Speech can win both or maybe win British Film and Social wins Film?
