BAFTA NOMINATIONS!!!

Another day, another awards batch. Oscar nominations are next Tuesday. I'll have weekend worth of coverage with that. Anywho, the BAFTA's are by far the best group so far mainly because they ignored Sideways and Million Dollar Baby almost entirely. While I can't say much for M$B having not seen it, I guess the Brits saw Sideways for what a lot of people are just discovering it is: a very good, but not great character movie.
