BAFTAs
“The Artist” was named the Best Film of 2011 at the BAFTAs, the British equivalent of the Academy Awards, which means the silent film is practically destined to win the Best Picture Oscar in two weeks. The Best Film category was just one of seven awards – including Best Original Screenplay, Best Director for Michel Hazanavicius and Best Lead Actor for star Jean Dujardin – that the French-made film collected at the British Academy of Film Awards. The winners in other major categories included Lead Actress Meryl Streep for her portrayal of former prime minister Margaret Thatcher in “The Iron Lady”; Supporting Actor Christopher Plummer, also considered an Oscar frontrunner for “Beginners”; and Octavia Spencer, the woman who brought the outspoken Minnie to life in “The Help.” “Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy” won the Best Adapted Screenplay Award.” The adaptation of John le Carre’s spy thriller also was named Best British Film.
