We like to have a bet on the BAFTA winners in our house.  Although two of us are BAFTA voters, we are privy to no inside-info.  The winner of the predictions game is usually our son Dante, who is good at the BAFTAs, but brilliant at the Oscars.

Meanwhile, let’s see if we’re right on this year’s BAFTAs.  Obviously these are predictions, not votes for who ought to win – that’s a whole ‘nother ball game.
