The BAFTA awards have been announced, and I'll be damned if I guessed any of these right. Nice to see some award recognition for The Two Towers, albiet in lesser categories. Thankfully the list is Renée Zellweger free, keeping me happy at least. Wouldn't have wanted to be in a position to pick the best actor gong, but Mr. Lewis is a more than deserving choice from a strong field. This is an abstract of the winners, seeing as the full nominations have been covered previously. This is again cribbed from the BAFTA website.
