BAFTA 2011: longlists revealed

BAFTA has released the longlists for most of its key categories – and Black Swan and The King’s Speech lead the way with 15 nominations each.

On 14 nominations are: Inception and Made In Dagenham. Next up is The Social Network with 13 mentions. And then on 12 noms, there is a slew: Alice In Wonderland; The Fighter; The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo; Shutter Island; and the Coens’ True Grit.

Apart from Dagenham and Dragon Tattoo doing so well, the other surprise is the performance of The Town: 11 noms with Ben Affleck making both the director and leading actor longlists.

Dagenham’s success is in part due to five members of the cast making the list. Black Swan matches that number, while King’s, Fighter and Town have four members of their casts bathed in early glory (including in the latter case the late Pete Postlethwaite).

Leonardo DiCaprio, Gemma Arterton, Rosamund Pike, Andrew Garfield and Rosamund Pike are all longlisted twice. Toy Story 3 is longlisted for both Film and Animated Film.

Surprises? No Werner Herzog and Nic Cage for Bad Lieutenant, no Chloe Grace Moretz for Kick-Ass, no Emma Stone for Easy A, no Gainsbourg, etc. And Shutter Island and Alice garnering so many noms!

There’s no longlist for British Film, and meanwhile the shortlist for Foreign Film has been announced: Biutiful; The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo;
 I Am Love; 
Of Gods And Men; 
and The Secret In Their Eyes.

The winners will be announced on 13 February.
