Film and Theatre Lover!
I am not even ashamed to say that I am very excited about the film reboot of the Power Rangers next year. I totally loved Mighty Morphin Power Rangers back in the 90s when I was growing up and really wanted nothing more than to actual be a Power Ranger. The Pink Ranger, I even had a water gun!
Has it really changed that much? Well, from the new Rangers promotional photo it doesn’t look like they are going to be constantly wearing their colours.
This year it seems as though only one actor has been nominated in a leading role the incredible Leonardo DiCaprio who looks to be getting ready to eventually get his very own Oscar. But four other men are nominated as well just incase you either forgot or didn’t actually know that more had been nominated! This category always leaves me disappointed as my favourite doesn’t often win . . .
Ahead of the BAFTA awards tonight I thought I would quickly put together my predictions of what I think will win and what I would like to win. I have kept it to the bigger awards and only missed one of the films that are nominated for Best Film and Best British Film!

Here we go the nominations for the 2016 Oscars!
Still seen as the biggest awards in film and most prestigious, maybe a couple of surprises in terms of not getting a nomination but the majority is probably expected. Maybe the Academy should release the nominations before the rest of the awards and it wouldn’t be as easy to try and predict them? I will be doing plenty of posts for the big awards once I have seen the rest of the films, we have a busy couple of weeks coming up in the UK!
Best Picture
The Big Short
Bridge of Spies

Mad Max: Fury Road
The Martian

I always enjoy the BAFTA awards, quite possibly because I can watch them very easily life? Well I think so. No real surprises in the nominations and I do always love how they have a separate cateorgy for Outstanding British film no double nominations with best film this year though. Won’t be too long now until the awards which take place on Sunday 14th February 2016.
