Now, fans of the Artemis Fowl books have started a petition to see their big screen dreams realised for a movie that’s been rumoured for quite a while. I’ve never read the Artemis …

Check here if you need a reminder of who’s nominated. Seeing as no one really cares about the majority of the technical categories, here are my predictions …
