在获得最佳影片提名的5部影片：Avatar、An Education、The Hurt Locker、Precious 和 Up in the Air 中，Avatar 是获奖最大热门。这5部影片中，有3部还同时获得最佳导演提名，Quentin Tarantino (Inglourious Basterds) 和 Neill Blomkamp (District 9)是另两个最佳导演提名人选。今年的最佳影片和最佳导演很可能分属两部不同的影片。最佳导演奖的热门会是 Kathryn Bigelow (The Hurt Locker)。
今年的最佳英国电影奖争夺比较激烈：An Education、Fish Tank、In the Loop、Moon和Nowhere Boy 都获得了很高评价。这一项目的评选过程与最佳电影不同，不是通过BAFTA会员投票，而是由一个几十人的评选委员会选出。An Education 虽然同时获得两个奖项提名，但获得最佳英国电影奖的机会大些。电影 Moon 的编剧导演 Duncan Jones 很有可能获得最佳首作奖。
在表演奖上，英国演员获奖的最大机会，是 An Education 中的 Carey Mulligan，她在最佳女主角上的最大对手，将是 Mery Streep (Julie & Julia)。
今年最失望的，应属Jane Campion 的 Bright Star了，这部参加了去年康城竞赛、入选 Sight & Sound 2009年10佳影片的电影，在BAFTA初选名单上就不被看好，在今天公布的提名名单上，仅仅获得一项最佳服装设计的提名。
今年提名影片最强的奖项其实是最佳外语片，在5个提名：Broken Embraces、Coco Before Chanel、Let The Right One In、A Prophet、The White Ribbon中，除了 Coco Before Chanel 稍弱，其它都是公认的杰出作品。
