Some of the winners were a a bit of a suprise for us to :confused:

I just love the fact that 'This is England' won for Best British Film, beating out 'Atonement.' However, 'Atonement' won Best Film. So, Atonement lost for Best British Film, but won Best Film. So it's the best film of the year, but just not in England? :confused: That just shows you the weirdness that goes into the nomination process.
