Since 2007, the BAFTAs have lined up with the Oscars in the Best Picture category six our of nines times, accurately predicting wins for Argo and The Hurt Locker (when they looked like runners up during the nomination process).
Even when the BAFTAs differed from the Academy, as they did the last two years with The Revenant and Boyhood, they had eventual Oscar winners Spotlight and Birdman in the running in their Best Picture category.
The British Academy of Film and Television Arts — or, the BAFTAs — are another outstanding indicator of the films, directors, actors and actresses that are leading contenders in the Oscar race.
