The BAFTAs (British Academy Film Awards) were held today and The King’s Speech nearly pulled off a clean sweep with seven wins, including Best Film and Oustanding British Film. Generally considered the British version of the Oscars, the BAFTAs are usually a fairly accurate gauge of how things will turn out at the Academy Awards (on February 27th). Natalie Portman won Best Actress for Black Swan and the unbeatable Colin Firth took home the Best Actor prize. Providing a glimmer of hope for The Social Network fans, David Fincher took home the Best Director trophy. The Social Network also won Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Editing. Inception took home three trophies including Best Visual Effects. Hit the jump to see the complete list of the winners.
