    Atonement??? I watched the first half and that was enough for me. The film is criminally overrated. This is England is a far superior film.

    Best Actress
    Marion Cottilard - La Vie en Rose

    Best Supporting Actress
    Tilda Swinton - Michael Clayton

    I'm surprised at both these wins but Marion did give a great performance i didn't see Michael Clayton so don't know about Tilda

    I thought Atonement would have cleaned up at the BAFTAs

    I expected Atonement to win every award

    even best animated film

    it's SO AWFUL, but a total award magnet
    anything British and historical is
