The official countdown to the Academy Awards is on.
The recently concluded Orange British Academy Film Awards 2012 is the last high profile award show before the Oscars, not to mention the only one that is held outside of the US.
The BAFTA is another award giving body that is considered to provide insight on who will win at the Oscars, despite its addition of the occasional British films or actors that wouldn't normally be included in the US based awards shows.
Since the show wasn't locally aired and it's hard to find another venue where I can watch the show, I can't offer any other information aside from the following list of winners of the Orange British Academy Film Awards 2012... although I really, really wanted to watch Stephen Fry perform his duties as host of the show.
