BAFTA Award Winners Announced

The British Academy of Film and Television Arts announced their winners list yesterday. 

 If I may editorialize for a moment here:

Surprises…Avatar getting trounced by The Hurt Locker and Kristen Stewart winning a “Rising Star” award.

Not so surprising…Duncan Jones’ ”Outstanding Debut” award and Mo’Nique and Christoph Waltz waltzing away with the Best Supporting Actress and Actor awards.
