2011 BAFTA Award Winners

BAFTA Awards – 2011 (for 2010 films)
British Association of Film and Television Arts

The King's Speech was the big winner, winning seven awards overall. Ironically it's director, Tom Hooper, lost the direction award to David Fincher for The Social Network, which was second in awards with three, along with Inception, while Alice in Wonderland got two.

Now that King's Speech has won all the guild awards, such as screen actor's and director's, while Social Network has won only the critic's awards, the Oscar® favorite has to be King's Speech.
