A record-breaking number of votes were received in this year’s BAFTA Kids’ Vote. 7-14 year-olds cast over half a million votes – 593,674 – and had their say across a whole range of entertainment media in a nationwide poll to choose their favourite film, television programme, website and video game. The winners in the four categories were: The Smurfs (Feature Film); Good Luck Charlie (Television); Temple Run (Video Game); Bin Weevils (Website). The Kids’ Vote website - www.baftakidsvote.org - remains a year-round destination for the under 14s, with quizzes, games, interviews, and reports from the Awards.
