Based on Rotten Tomatoes’ rating, Stephen Graham is predicted to take home the award this year for his performance in Boiling Point. With an incredible 99% on the tomatometer and an 85% audience score, the film has been described as a ‘terrific ride’ by The Observer due to his honest, urgent and vulnerable performance and he’s even been compared to a young Al Pacino and described as Britain's most exciting acting talent by The Sunday Times.

Outstanding British Film

With an IMDb rating of 7.3 and a box office total of $34.1m, this year's Outstanding British Film is predicted to be Belfast. The 2021 coming-of-age drama is based off of a true story, which follows the life of Buddy, a young boy living in 1969 Belfast facing life during The Troubles conflict. Named by the National Board Of Review as one of the best films of the year.

Summer Of Soul is set to swipe the award for Best Documentary this year, with an IMDb rating of 8.1 and an impressive box office total of $3.7m. The film, based around the 1969 Harlem Cultural Festival and its obscurity within popular culture during that period, has received praise from critics for its restoration and reclamation of footage.

Animated film

A tough category, but this year's Animated Film Award is predicted to go to Flee, with an impressive IMDb rating of 8. Praised for its thematic content and LGBT representation, critics quickly fell in love with this strong storyline, despite the film only making $457,956 at the box office. Whilst Luca and Encanto both racked up impressive box office numbers of $49.8m and $244.1m, their IMDb ratings of 7.5 and 7.3 might just cut them short of grabbing the award.
