“The Artist” and “Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy” lead the way with the BAFTA Nominations. The most exciting is Nicolas Winding Refn’s “Drive” was nominated for Best Film and Director but Ryan Gosling and Albert Brooks were snubbed in their respective categories. Carey Mulligan will be the sole representation for the acting ensemble with her supporting nomination. Usual British suspects like “The Iron Lady” made a strong showing for both Meryl Streep and co-star Jim Broadbent. ”The Help” made a very strong showing for Best Film, Actress, and double Supporting Actress mentions. Alexander Payne’s “The Descendants” could only get three mentions including Film, Lead Actor, and Adapted Screenplay. Check out all the nominations after the jump.

Best Score for Tinker tailor soldier spy? Oldman over Gosling? Mulligan? Seymour hoffman over Brooks? This is a fucking joke.
OMFGITSROHIT(Quote) (Reply)
The score for Tinker Tailor was outstanding and my favorite of the year.
Robbie(Quote) (Reply)
obviously there is some British bias here to explain the omissions.
Not much love for Hugo. Great to see Berenice Bejo in the leading category where she belongs.

The biggest joke is The Artist for Best Sound. WTF?
Ryman Lloyd(Quote) (Reply)
I understand where you are coming from Ryman Lloyd, but for me…I am not sure if you have seen The Artist, but sound plays a major and significant role in two crucial and important scenes in the film. The first occurrence eliciting gasps and surprise in my two preview screening audiences and the last one causing some smiles and tears. Perhaps it just played extremely well in Seattle, but I actually have it listed in my predictions as an Oscar nominee for those reasons…
Michael Ward(Quote) (Reply)
haha yeah ryman have you even seen the artist? sound is so important in it! it’s probably the best use of pure sound for a film this year.
George(Quote) (Reply)
Yeah for like one or two scenes. That’s not enough. Better movies with better sound like Super 8 and Rise of the Planet of the Apes should be the ones nominated.
Ryman Lloyd(Quote) (Reply)
Just cause its two scenes doesn’t mean it wasn’t outstanding. It’s like saying a performance that’s only 5 minutes in one scene isn’t important for consideration **cough Vanessa Redgrave in Atonement cough**
Clayton Davis(Quote) (Reply)
My 3 points
-Many of these nominations are bizarre and must be a joke, the love for Drive is great to see but you nominate the weakest performance and leave the two outstanding ones off (confused face)
- No Hugo for BP and Iron Lady screenplay really???
-I have heard that no screeners for Tree Of Life were sent to bafta members. That would explain its omission

unbelievably excited that Mulligan got the nom over Gosling and Brooks. I will go to my grave loving Gosling, but it was a flat performance, tbh imo. Mulligan had a lot of depth in her character, which seemed to be difficult in Refn’s over-stylized approach.. just my opinions here.

Oh lol, strange indeed even by their standards.
First of all Tinker Tailor was always going to be the big frontrunner here, it got a great reception in the UK and is quintessentially British, not a very American film.
When I first scanned through the list, I misread Carey as being for Shame.. I just assumed. But then I remembered the reason for that was cause she was mystifyingly listed as lead – technically she was the lead actress in it yes, but had so little screen time that you can’t really call it that. Make up body of work alert.
The support categories aren’t quite as strong this year, so they must’ve thought they could get away with it. Surprised they went for Jonah Hill – in contrast, a very American film.

I love the love for Drive and the snubbing of Hugo in major categories. But no Tree of Life and barely any Dragon Tattoo support makes me sad…
George(Quote) (Reply)
Some very odd choices, but it likely could have been a lot worse…

I think it’s time we stop giving the Globes so much shit this year and start focusing our efforts on the BAFTAs. Look, I understand why the Globes get panned often for some of their ass-kissing nominations, but this year they were actually pretty in line with most of the precursors and didn’t have any real questionable nominations or ommissions. I thought they actually did a very good job this year, not only with their nominations, but with the winners as well. The BAFTAs this year are a joke. I understand the British bias, but c’mon, some of these nominations are just flat outrageous. Golden Globes > BAFTAs this year by a wide margin.

It’s nice to see someone else thinks that Gosling’s performance in Drive wasn’t the most brilliant piece of acting. I can’t wrap my head around the major love for this movie. Nice to see Gary Oldman get a nomination. Tinker was a pretty great movie…good score even if it doesn’t seem to fit at times. Glad Hugo isn’t in here. It’s another one that hasn’t really blown me away like lots of others. Oh well. Yeah Carey Mulligan though…she should have an Oscar from An Education but this is nice too.

Saw My Week With Marilyn today. Williams has two good scenes in the entire movie. Not sure why she’s on here for this performance outside of lingering love from Valentine and having a Weinstein ramming her down everyone’s throat. Why do people think she’s good in this? I found her boring more than anything. The resemblance isn’t there physically or in her personality imo. It’d be nice to see someone else in there.
