My Week With Marilyn and Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy lead the BAFTA race at this very early stage with 16 nominations apiece, ahead of The Iron Lady on 14, and The Artist, The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, Midnight In Paris, and War Horse on 13.
However, as ever, the real news is who and what didn’t make the cut. Potentially the biggest shock is Vanessa Redgrave not being recognised for her role in Coriolanus: she’s already won the Golden Stan for Best Supporting Actress, but now there’s no chance of repeating that success at BAFTA.
Similarly, while her lead, Ralph Fiennes, was noted for his acting as the titular warmonger, he was not for his direction (and neither was DoP Barry Ackroyd).
The Tree of Life was noted only for its cinematography, while Lars Von Trier’s Melancholia received no recognition whatsoever.
There was no mention for Rebecca Hall and her outstanding turn in The Awakening, nor for anyone involved in The Deep Blue Sea (one of the best-reviewed films of the year, and in Rachel Weisz an obvious contender for Best Actress). Weisz's Deep Blue co-star Tom Hiddleston received no recognition for any of his performances (Thor, Archipelogo, and War Horse).
The two males in Carnage (John C Reilly and Christoph Waltz) went unmentioned while their female colleagues (Kate Winslet and Jodie Foster) made the cut.
Michael Fassbender was ‘only’ mentioned for his lead role in Shame – his other lead roles were ignored. And it is a similar story for Jessica Chastain: just one mention for The Help.
George Clooney is mentioned four times: Best Actor for The Descendants, and Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Supporting Actor for The Ides Of March.
Clooney’s Ides co-star Ryan Gosling is mentioned for both Ides and Drive. His Drive co-star Carey Mulligan is recognised for Drive and Shame.
Martin Scorsese has two films in contention for honours: Hugo (12 mentions) and his George Harrison biography is up for Best Documentary. Same story for Steven Spielberg: he’s got War Horse and Tintin (in the running for Best Animated Film).
Another two-timer is Phedon Papamichael: his cinematography is recognised on both The Descendants and The Ides Of March. Alexandre Desplat’s scores in Ides and Harry Potter are also mentioned.
