The British Academy Film awards were held last night. The full list of nominees/winners are listed below, together with a reminder of my predictions from a month ago. Were there any surprises for you? Quite why Kristen Stewart was nominated in a public vote category Twilight fans would fix is anyone's guess, as she's not even a newcomer as the term "rising star" suggests. Heck, even she looked embarrassed to be up there because the Twi-hards went on a mission. The ceremony's best moment, for me, was seeing Duncan Jones get overdue recognition for his overlooked Moon, mainly because his tearful acceptance speech spoke volumes about how much a BAFTA really meant to him. Anyway, here's the full list if you missed the show:
