Neil Christians and Darth Sparhawk both sent us e-mails to get this up on the site. You can now vote for The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe for the BAFTA Kids’ Vote! Winners will be announced on November 26th at a ceremony in London.
“Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest” will battle it out with “The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe,” “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire” and “Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit” at the British Academy of Film & Television Arts’ children’s film and TV awards.
The nominations in 18 groups were announced Monday in London and include five new ones: channel of the year, independent production company of the year, shorts and two categories for educational programming
The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, directed by New Zealander Andrew Adamson, has won a Bafta Award.
The film picked up the British prize for Hair and Make-Up ahead of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Memoirs of a Geisha and Pride & Prejudice.
However the film went home empty handed in the other categories it was nominated for: Achievement In Special Visual Effects and Costume Design.
James McAvoy (Mr. Tumnus) took home the The Orange Rising Star Award. The award celebrates a young actor or actress of any nationality who has already begun to capture the imagination of the British public as a film star in the making and is the only Award at The Orange British Academy Film Awards to be voted for by fans!

One of the principal functions of the British Academy of Film & Television Arts is to identify and reward excellence in the artforms of the moving image. It achieves this objective by bestowing awards on those practitioners who have excelled in their chosen field of expertise.
In 1947, the Academy granted three awards. Today, more than one hundred awards are bestowed annually in the fields of film, television and video games. Our five annual awards ceremonies in London are as follows:
The Orange British Academy Film Awards
The British Academy Video Games Awards
The British Academy Television Awards sponsored by Pioneer
The British Academy Television Craft Awards
The 10th British Academy Children’s Film & Television Awards in association with Time Warner
The Academy has earned its position as keeper of the gold standard because its engaged voting body is a diverse, expert membership of industry peers. Each Awards process varies, but the coveted BAFTA mask is awarded to individuals via combinations of membership votes, qualified industry chapters and specially selected juries comprising industry practitioners who have reached the pinnacle of their profession in a variety of disciplines.
The BAFTA mask is regarded as the most coveted award among industry practitioners working in all artforms of the moving image.
Of all the wonderful things about Channel 4’s comedy drama Shameless, James McAvoy plays Steve, the posh lad who couldn’t help dipping his fingers in the crime honey pot. Glasgow-born McAvoy is now known very differently as the faun Mr Tumnus in Andrew Adamson’s Narnia adaptation.
Other nominees include:
Gael Garcia Bernal (The King)
Michelle Williams (Ang Lee’s Brokeback Mountain)
Rachel McAdams (Red Eye, The Wedding Crashers, The Family Stone)
Chiwetel Ejiofor (Dirty Pretty Things, Serenity, Kinky Boots)
