Awards - BAFTA Awards

The British Film Academy, or BAFTA, have released their nominees for this year's awards. England's version of the Oscars is arguably one of the biggest awards in film besides the Academy Awards, and many times a strong showing across the pond will show up in the Oscar race as well, due to the high crossover of voters. I remember back in 2008 when The Reader made a surprise appearance on the BAFTA list, and then showed up on the roster here in the U.S. as well. So don't count out the power of the Brits.


Leading the way this year is The Artist with 12 nominations. Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy follows close behind with 11, Hugo taking 9 (without a nod for Picture!?!?), My Week with Marilyn pulling in 6, and The Help & War Horse each scoring 5. The possibly surprise party crasher besides Tinker? Drive, which scored nods in both Best Picture and Best Director.
