It's actually been a pretty darn good year, hasn't it? I usually rush to pick my favourites but several categories have me scratching my head. That can only be a good thing! Maybe we should compete to predict the most winners. One of the things the BIFAs have over the BAFTAs etc is that they're much trickier to guess ... drama!

Great idea! Maybe Jack or Ed could sort out us with a poll?

Hi!
Hmm, polls... the website isn't currently setup to allow polls. But it's a nice idea. I'll have a tinker if I get a chance.

Hey guys,
Death of the Dinosaurs (one of our films) has been nominated for a BIFA and we are really proud. Wish Leilani (the Director) luck at the awards!
Still a great resource you provide here, Jack!
