Two observations from them:

Discussion: A minority of our critics attended the screening of THE HATEFUL EIGHT--problematic for the timing of our awards. #BSFCAwards2015

Problem: many film groups deciding awards in early December. Screenings access is difficult. 11th hour buzz = studio tactic #BSFCAwards2015
