BAFTA generally likes to award British stars where possible unless there is a clear leader in the field for an award. This year will probably be the same.
Best Film - Atonement is the standout selection. Starring BAFTA favourite James McAvoy and the English rose Kiera Knightley this Joe Wright directed film should pick up the award to add to its Golden Globe. Unfortunately I think that is where it will end as it may not even get an Oscar nomination.
Best Actor - Irish Daniel Day-Lewis is the favourite for the Oscar and is very likely to pick up the BAFTA as well.
Best Actress - Julie Christie again is in the same position as Daniel Day Lewis. Julie has already picked up numerous awards and that should help BAFTA make up their mind to give her her 2nd Actress BAFTA.
Best Supporting Actor - Although Tom Wilkinson would be many BAFTA voters choice I thing teh mind will rule the heart and Javier Bardem will take it.
Best Supporting Actress - No Amy Ryan!!! What are BAFTA thinking of. I suppose it is easier to give it to Cate Blanchett now that Amy isn't around.
Director - This is a close one between Joe Wright and the Coen Brothers but as BAFTA and teh Academy don't normally see eye to eye on this award I will have to plump for Wright.
Original Screenplay - Writing is one area where BAFTA has a good link to the Oscars and therefore Diablo Cody may sneak this for Juno.
Adapted Screenplay - Will Atonement lose this? I think with the major award likely to go Atonement's way this one will be more in the Oscar way and go for No Country for Old Men.
Animated Film - Can't see Ratatouille being beat anywhere even at the BAFTA's.
