BAFTA: Atonement leads

The BAFTA nominations have been announced and Atonement leads with 14. No Country For Old Men and There Will Be Blood have garnered nine each, followed by La Vie En Rose with seven. The Bourne Ultimatum has picked up six (and remarkably qualifies as a British film), ahead of American Gangster, The Lives Of Others and Michael Clayton with five.
