Obviously there has been somewhat of a lull since the onslaught of awards ceremonies earlier in the year and the relevant companies have had enough time to sort out press releases for next years awards ceremonies and it seems they have chosen today to share them with us!

We’ve just received information from BAFTA HQ that the 2012 event will take place on Sunday 12th February 2012 with the nominations being revealed Tuesday 17th January.

Just like last year, that puts the BAFTAs two week ahead of the 2012 Academy Awards which Deadline tell us will take place February 26, 2012 with the key dates for the 84th Oscars ceremony below. Question is, what will we see at them? Thoughts below please!
