The British Academy released their noms today. The BAFTA's are historically a pretty bad indicator for Oscar glory - as their results are typically all over the map. Hoowever, a few things struck me.
'Big Fish' made a really strong showing. WHY is CM considered "British"?? Scarlett Johannson getting 2 lead noms is amazing. MR and Sb both getting shut out. Anyways..here they are...
