Brief 2 - BIFA Nominations

In my film magazine, I hope to do a feature on the BIFA as the nominations have just been announced — this could potentially form a substantial amount of content, so, basically, I have a lot of watching to do. I need to get some reviews in the pipeline but have managed to get a hold of a few off family & friends.
