Bafta
The Bafta awards are the jewel in the British film industry calendar and tonight we will see more films and performances crowned.
2012 has been a stunning year for movies with the likes of Skyfall, Lincoln, Zero Dark Thirty, Argo and Life of Pi all in the running for a clutch of gongs… but who will triumph?
Here at FemaleFirst we take a look a those runners and riders that we think could well be celebrating later tonight.
Best Film is one of the toughest categories this year with Argo, Les Miserables, Life of Pi, Lincoln and Zero Dark Thirty all nominated.
This has been a tightly contested category all year but it has been Argo that has been coming out on top time and time again; I expect Argo to triumph once again.
However the film to watch is Les Miserables as it could well snatch the win being the only British film nominated in the category.
Skyfall may have missed out on a spot in the Best Film category but it is the favourite in the Outstanding British Film category. It does face some tough competition with Anna Karenina, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, Les Miserables and Seven Psychopaths all in the mix.
But £100million at the UK box office alone cannot be wrong and it would be a major surprise if Skyfall did not take this award tonight.
Joaquin Phoenix, Hugh Jackman, Bradley Cooper and Ben Affleck may all be in the Best Director category but there is only going to be one winner tonight and that is Daniel Day-Lewis.
Day-Lewis has picked up every major gong this award’s season for his role as Abraham Lincoln in Lincoln and he is the favourite for the Oscar.
The Best Actress category is less clear cut as Jennifer Lawrence and Jessica Chastain have been sharing the awards over the last few weeks.
Either of these actresses could win for their superb performances but I think that Jennifer Lawrence could well be the victor.
Of the acting categories Best Supporting Actor has been the most wide open Alan Arkin, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Christoph Waltz and Javier Bardem are all nominated but Tommy Lee Jones could well take the gong.
Anne Hathaway has also been picking up awards left, right and centre for her role in Les Miserables and she is the odds on favourite to win the Bafta - an award that she richly deserves.
If there is someone else to watch out for in this category then it could well be Judi Dench, who could be recognised for her contribution to the James Bond franchise.
Ben Affleck has been picked up a whole host of Best Director gongs in recent weeks, despite being overlooked at the Oscars, and is it the favourite going into the awards tonight.
Kathryn Bigelow was overlooked by the Oscars in this category as well and she could well spring a surprise. Michael Haneke, Ang Lee and Quentin Tarantino are also nominated.
