Yesterday's British Academy Film Awards (BAFTA) hardly factors into this year's 84th annual Academy Awards. But don't tell that to the Oscar frontrunner, The Artist. The black and white silent film has be an unstoppable force throughout the awards season, and the BAFTA's is no exception. Taking home 7 wins at the event, including Best Picture, Director, and Lead Actor, The Artist is the odds on favorite for Best Picture at the Oscars. Furthermore, the film's leading star, Jean Dujardin, has placed himself in a favorable position to steal the win from George Clooney (The Descendants). With Oscar ballots due one week from tomorrow, expect some more awards talk in the upcoming weeks. For a complete list of BAFTA winners, click here (courtesy of Peter Knegt at Indiewire.com).
