The 2019 BAFTA Awards take place on Sunday (February 10), just 36 hours before the start of final voting for the Oscars. Many of the British voters are also members of the academy so that makes these precursor prizes especially important. Scroll down for our complete predictions in 21 categories at the BAFTAs ranked in order of their racetrack odds, with the projected winners highlighted in gold.
“The Favourite” leads with 12 nominations and is predicted to pick up seven prizes, including both Best Picture and Best British Film. Three of the four films with seven nominations will also win BAFTAs with “Roma” taking three, “First Man” two and “Bohemian Rhapsody” one. The other seven-time nominee, “A Star is Born,” won’t be so lucky as it is tipped to go home empty-handed as are four-time contenders “Cold War” and “Green Book.” “Vice” will go one for six and “BlacKkKlansman” will one of its five races.
We have more than 2000 people making their BAFTA predictions at Gold Derby, including Expert journalists from top media outlets, our Editors who cover awards year-round, the Top 24 Users who got the highest scores predicting last year’s BAFTA winners, and the All-Star Top 24 who got the highest scores when you combine the last two years’ BAFTA predictions.
Do you agree with the collective wisdom of our users, or do you think you know better? There’s still time to make or update your own predictions right here before prizes are handed out on February 10.
