Looks like my predictions were better going by the pictures I posted than my actual choices. The only two non-corresponding pictures in Picture and Director I accurately predicted the coveted Film/Director BAFTA combination for Bigelow — whose film more or less swept with six awards. I'm glad I was wrong about Bridges, and Mulligan's win probably increases Bullock's chances at the win.
The only major influence this could have on the actual Oscars is what seems to be the only close race — for the first time a voting branch with Academy overlap reward Mark Boal's screenplay for The Hurt Locker over Inglourious Basterds. I guess it shouldn't have been too hard to see with Basterds missing out on a film nomination, but this makes The Hurt Locker officially a prominent frontrunner for that prize. I'd put its chances at close to 60% at this point, though Basterds obviously still has a chance.
