Last night, the 2014 British Academy of Film and Television Arts’ Film Awards ceremony took place, serving as the final major awards ceremony until next month’s Academy Awards. Gravity took the majority of the awards, including Sound, Original Film Music, Cinematography, and Director, but it was the slave drama 12 Years a Slave that took the top honor as Best Film of the Year.
Both films will ride on the high into March’s Oscars. My personal underdog selection for the Academy Awards’ Best Picture has always been 12 Years a Slave, and with both BAFTA and the Golden Globes awarding it their Best (Drama) Film awards, it’s very likely that the Steve McQueen-helmed film could sweep at the Oscars. However, it’s very realistic that American Hustle could come in and steal Best Picture.
