Bafta Noms

You'll get them elsewhere, but I thought I'd post the full list here in case anybody had any comments, objections or approvals. I think it's a good list. I haven't seen Little Miss Sunshine yet, but I've heard the writer chat about his experience on the Creative Screenwriting podcast, and that was good.

It's great that Casino Royale gets a nod for acting (Craig), film (Broccolis) and the writers (Purvis, Wade, Haggis). I think it's well deserved. The original screenplay category is a tough call, but it's surely going to be The Queen. Anyway, have a look, and tell us what you think. The awards will be held on 11th February at the Royal Opera House in London (not the Odeon Leicester Square as previously noted, thanks GD):
