BAFTA WINNERS ANNOUNCED

The British Academy of Film and Television Awards, or BAFTAs, were announced and The Hurt Locker was the big winner. The British standard of the Academy Awards, the BAFTAs celebrate the best in movies and television. Sometimes the same, sometimes different than the winners at the Oscars, the BAFTA is a much coveted trophy. I'm soops happy to see Colin Firth's name on the list, but lost my mind and my breakfast when I saw that Kristen Stewart receieved a "rising star" awards. Ugh! Anyhoo...... here is the list of winners. [source]
