Consegnati i BAFTA Awards: Bigelow batte Cameron, vince anche Martina Amati

Consegnati i BAFTA: questa volta - nella sfida infinita tra James Cameron e il suo Avatar e la ex-moglie Kathryn Bigelow con The Hurt Locker - ha vinto la pellicola di guerra, capace di trionfare nelle due categorie principali, miglior film e miglior regista (in un totale di sei premi, contro i due premi minori di Avatar). 

Tra gli attori: gli inglesi Colin Firth e Carey Mulligan hanno vinto tra i protagonisti, i 'soliti' Mo'Nique e Christoph Waltz tra i non protagonisti. Nei film stranieri, anche qui a sopresa, Un Prophète ha battuto per una volta Il Nastro Bianco di Haneke. 

A Vanessa Redgrave l'Academy Fellowship e a Joe Dunton il premio per il contributo al cinema. L'Orange Rising Star Award, il premio per gli attori in ascesa, è stato vinto da Kristen Stewart, la star di Twilight (e non solo...).

Tra i cortometraggi vince anche l'Italia, con Martina Amati - coregista insieme a James Bolton - e il suo I do air. 

Qui sotto tutti i premiati (i vincitori sono in grassetto corsivo e con l'asterisco).
