For many, the BAFTA Awards are considered the prelude to the Oscars, providing an early look at which films have captured the attention of voters. But, for at least one category, this is not the case.
For the British Academy of Film and Television Award, The Lego Movie – which did not make the list of finalists for Best Animated Feature Film in the Oscar race – not only received a BAFTA nomination, it won the top prize there. Meanwhile, Interstellar won the award for Best Visual Effects.
