I saw all those films and I can say it easily should go to Christian Bale. I hope they don't give it to Pete just because he died. He really wouldn't want that, besides although he was good in The Town, he was only in it for a few minutes and has given far better performances in the past of which he won nothing.

I fear they may just give it to Pete, the BAFTA's are stupidly pro-Brit like that. It was so wrong when they nominated Dev Patel as best actor for Slumdog Millionaire. That was a joke. What a waste of a nomination!
