TJS Projection Room- My views on the BAFTAs

Well, we’ve just seen the best UK film successes honoured at the 67th EE BAFTA Film Awards. I am very surprised at some of the award-winners, namely Steve Coogan winning the award for Adapted Screenplay for Philomena. Gravity won 6 awards as expected and other than that, quite a few good films got honoured. Here’s to another great year of film.
