BAFTA, the British Academy Awards, have announced their nominees for their annual awards. “The King’s Speech” got 14 nominations–staggering.
Here’s the list. Some films that we’ll have in our Academy Awards, like actors from “Rabbit Hole” and “Blue Valentine,” havent’ been released in the UK yet so they’re not eligible. An interesting note: the Coen Brothers were not nominated in the Best Director category even though “True Grit” made the Best Film list. Danny Boyle, of “127 Hours,” took their slot. Who knows what that’s about?
