As ever, BAFTA goes its own way: the nominations for 2010 are led by Avatar, An Education and The Hurt Locker with eight noms each, but behind those three favourites are a number of surprises.
In the Outstanding British Film category, Education is up against Nowhere Boy (up for four awards), Moon (two noms in total), Fish Tank and In The Loop. Unfortunately, Katie Jarvis's terrific debut turn in Fish Tank is not recognised - unforgiveable!
District 9 picked up 7 noms, but not Best Film. Inglorious Basterds secures a Best Director nom for Best Director but doesn't feature on the Best Film list.
The Actor and Actress categories are eclectic: Clooney v Bridges v Firth v Renner v Serkis (for playing Ian Dury); and Mulligan v Saoirse Ronan (for the Lovely Bones) v Gabourey Sidibe (for Precious) v Streep v Audrey Tatou (for Coco Before Chanel).
The Supporting categories are equally independent: Actor features Alec Baldwin and Stanley Tucci alongside the established favourites; while Actress highlights the performances of Anne-Marie Duff and Kristin Scott Thomas in Nowhere Boy.
And Nine? Locked out of every major category...
