Unbelievable. Outrageous. An evening of woe. A conspiracy. The world has caved in. The Brits did not do very well at the Baftas on Sunday, and there has seldom been such an outpouring of British whingeing, moaning and whining. You know what? There was a subtle reason behind the awards. The American films and actors were - how can I put this tactfully? - better. There's only one thing to do to prevent another debacle. Restrict the awards to British films. That will really give Baftas status and prestige in the film world.
