The winners of the 78th EE British Academy Of Film & Television Arts (BAFTA), representing the best in film for 2024, will be announced on Sunday, February 16th from the Royal Festival Hall in London. After “Anora” claimed top prizes at the Critics Choice, DGA, and PGA awards this past weekend, it feels like our likely Best Picture frontrunner. Will BAFTA voters follow this trend or will they go their own way? Please take a look at some members of Next Best Picture’s predictions and stay tuned for the show on Sunday!
