Who's Winning BAFTA Awards?

by Caitlyn Callegari

The BAFTAs are coming! The BAFTAs are coming! Quite literally, actually, as the award show is in full force just a hop, skip, and a jump over the Atlantic Ocean. You can catch the 2015 British Academy Film Awards, hosted by Stephen Fry, in the states tonight whilst you partake in an apropos snack of tea and crumpets at 9pm EST on BBC America. But, if you just can't handle the wait and you aren't even sure what a crumpet is, look no further than here to have your awards show properly spoiled in real time. The list of BAFTA Award winners (thus far) is listed below.

You may not know it, but this British award show is kind of a big deal. The BAFTAs are a bit of a pregame so to speak of our own Academy Awards. So, if you're feeling snoopy or you have an ongoing bet to settle, you may want to take a good, hard look at this list of winners to gauge whether or not you'll think they'll take home the Oscar as well. Or, since it isn't (nor do they want it to be) an exact science, perhaps you'll catch a name on the BAFTA winner list of a very deserving nominee who won't be given the light of day at the Oscars. Either way, you can check out the champions below:
