BAFTA Predictions 2014

As the BAFTA film awards are taking place this Sunday (February 16^th) it’s time for my personal picks for the awards show. There are some omissions from the list of nominees due to certain films having not yet been released in the UK; this is the sole reason Matthew McConaughey is not there.
