‘The Artist,’ which won three Golden Globes on Sunday, received the most nominations early Tuesday for the Orange British Academy Awards with 12 nods including best film, original screenplay, director, actor and actress.
The British Academy of Film and Television Arts gave the espionage thriller ‘Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy’ 11 nominations and Martin Scorsese’s valentine to cinema, ‘Hugo,’ nine nominations.
Besides ‘The Artist,’ best film nominees are ‘The Descendants,’ which won the Globe Globe for best movie (drama), ‘The Help,’ ‘Drive’ and ‘Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy.’
Director nominees are Michel Hazanavicius for ‘The Artist’; Nicolas Winding Refn for ‘Drive,’ Scorsese for ‘Hugo,’ Tomas Alfredson for ‘Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy’ and Lynne Ramsay for ‘We Need to Talk About Kevin.’
Best actor nominees are Brad Pitt for ‘Moneyball’; Gary Oldman for ‘Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy’; George Clooney for ‘The Descendants’; Jean Dujardin for ‘The Artist’ and Michael Fassbender for ‘Shame.’
Vying for best actress are Berenice Bejo for ‘The Artist’; Meryl Streep for ‘The Iron Lady’; Michelle Williams for ‘My Week With Marilyn’; Tilda Swinton for ‘We Need to Talk About Kevin’; and Viola Davis for ‘The Help.’
In contention for supporting actor are Christopher Plummer for ‘Beginners’; Jim Broadbent for ‘The Iron Lady’; Jonah Hill for ‘Moneyball’; Kenneth Branagh for ‘My Week With Marilyn’; and Philip Seymour Hoffman for ‘The Ides of March.’
Nominees for supporting actress are Carey Mulligan for ‘Drive’; Jessica Chastain for ‘The Help’; Judi Dench for ‘My Week With Marilyn’; Melissa McCarthy for ‘Bridesmaids’; and Octavia Spencer for ‘The Help.’
Notably missing from the best film list is ‘Hugo.’ And despite the strong showing for ‘Drive,’ Albert Brooks, who has received critical awards and a Golden Globe nomination for supporting actor, was shut out of the category for the BAFTAs.
