EE BAFTA awards. The ceremony, held at Covent Garden's Royal Opera House and hosted
by Stephen Fry, is often seen as a forerunner to the Oscars; many were keen to see just who
would be picking up the awards and whether one film would dominate the proceedings.
Some of the biggest movies of the year were nominated such as "Django Unchained",
"Skyfall" and "Argo", and Steven Spielberg's stately biopic "Lincoln" topped the list with the most
nominations, at ten. That was closely followed by "Les Miserables" and "Life of Pi" both receiving
nine. Having ten nominations does not guarantee success though, as "Lincoln" only managed
to win the one award Best actor for Daniel Day Lewis. "Argo" once again hit the highs that
have preceded it in previous award ceremonies as it got both Best Picture and Ben Affleck
picked up Best Director as well as another for editing. Leading the way though was "Les
Miserables" with four awards, most notably the mask for Anne Hathaway for best supporting
actress.
