The EE British Academy Of Film & Television Arts (BAFTA) will be held on Sunday, February 18th. Considering they are among the few groups with Academy membership crossover, they can sometimes help sway our final Oscar predictions as they can confirm, turn the tide, or provide misdirection with their choices. The NBP Team has made their predictions for this year’s winners (you can also listen to this week’s podcast to hear some of our members’ reasoning behind these predictions). Please take a look at some members of the Next Best Picture team’s predictions below on who they think will win.
Predictions provided by Alyssa Christian, Cody Derricks, Dan Bayer, Daniel Howat, Ema Sasic, Giovanni Lago, Josh Parham, Matt Neglia, Nadia Dalimonte, Tom O’Brien, & Will Mavity
