| Quote: | BEST FILM
AMERICAN GANGSTER – Brian Grazer/Ridley Scott
ATONEMENT – Tim Bevan/Eric Fellner/Paul Webster
THE LIVES OF OTHERS – Quirin Berg/Max Wiedemann
NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN – Scott Rudin/Joel Coen/Ethan Coen
THERE WILL BE BLOOD – JoAnne Sellar/Paul Thomas Anderson/Daniel Lupi
BEST BRITISH FILM
ATONEMENT – Tim Bevan/Eric Fellner/Paul Webster/Joe Wright/Christopher Hampton
THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM – Frank Marshall/Patrick Crowley/Paul L Sandberg/Paul Greengrass/Tony Gilroy/Scott Z Burns/George Nolfi
CONTROL – Orian Williams/ Todd Eckert/Anton Corbijn/Matt Greenhalgh
EASTERN PROMISES – Paul Webster/Robert Lantos/David Cronenberg/Steve Knight
THIS IS ENGLAND – Mark Herbert/Shane Meadows |
(the winners are in bold).
I'm sure there must be some rationale behind it, but I'm not seeing it 
Also, disappointed at the lack of foreign language films. I was hoping the BAFTAs would be at least a little less parochial than the oscars.

| After watching no country for old men I feel they actually watch these shows whilst taking acid before they do their votes. |

yeah, whatever guys 
Franki, it's basically the British equivalent of the Oscars.
What I'm really struggling to figure out, I guess, is the logic in the section I quoted. How is it that a British film won the "best film" category, but didn't win the "best British film" category? It's kind of mind-boggling
