| | The BAFTA's, 1999 |
 | | The BAFTA's are the British equivalent of the American Academy Awards, the much more renowned Oscars, and usually offset the, not uncommon, prejudices which the American's show towards their own, home grown, block-busting, Tinsel Town manufactured, so-called gems. |
 | | If the BAFTA's were solely about British films then perhaps the result couldn't be severely criticised; there aren't that many British candidates in the running anyway although last year was better than many others (Elizabeth, Little Voice, Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Shakespeare In Love and Velvet Goldmine). |
 | | For self indulgent back-slapping, the BAFTA voters have excelled themselves; their patriotic bigotry has shone through. |
