The Awards Connection

This year's BAFTA Awards are a bit tough to forecast, beyond the inevitable win for DiCaprio in Best Lead Actor and Oscar front-runners The Big Short and Spotlight winning the screenwriting prizes. Could Mad Max grab technical prizes here, even without George Miller having garnered a nom? Is this where Saoirse Ronan and Mark Rylance finally score wins? Can Alicia Vikander emerge triumphant for the film she wasn't Oscar-nominated for? Here is my hunch:
