Javier Bardem got a BAFTA nomination for “Biutiful!” That’s just about his first significant mention of the year! Perhaps all is not lost on the horse Julia Roberts has vocally and publicly backed.
BAFTA has more crossover voters with the Oscars than ever, and a nomination here probably means more than a Golden Globe nomination (sorry, Ryan Gosling/Mark Wahlberg). But will the 2007 Best Supporting Actor be nominated for an Academy Award? Survey says…
Yes! Both voters (both as in there were only two) thought that Bardem would get a nomination. My predictions (basically final) will be announced on Friday, and don’t expect to see Bardem in there. But the BAFTA nomination was a big boost, and I’m definitely taking him more seriously as a contender thanks to it.
