    Do the BAFTA awards end up predicting the Oscars?

    Do the BAFTA awards end up predicting the Oscars?
  • Ever since the BAFTA awards started preceding the American award ceremony, the notion that the BAFTA awards predict the Oscars has become popular.

    Since 2002, 7 BAFTA best film winners went on to win the Oscar for best picture.

    A similar voting protocol and about 500 common members in the panel of judges in the two awards may contribute to the recurring pattern.
