On February 18, the winner will be announced at Royal Albert Hall in London. Ranging from American, Mexican to British directors, who will get the honour of taking the awards home? Together, let’s have a look at the betting odds of BAFTA Awards for Best Director!

Dunkirk captures war on land, water and air. Nolan has been working on this film for more than 20 years. He wanted to make sure his vision could fully translate on the big screen. His tremendous efforts are precisely why Nolan should win Best Director for 2018 BAFTA.
