The comedy Four Lions received five nominations, while another three films tied with four: Another Year, Made in Dagenham and Brighton Rock. Impressively, filmmaker Gareth Edwards personally received four nominations for his directorial debut Monsters.
The Jury for 2010 includes: Mags Arnold (Editor), Finola Dwyer (Producer), Matthew Goode (Actor), Matt Greenhalgh (Writer), Andy Harries (Producer), Gemma Jones (Actress), David Mackenzie (Director), James Marsh (Director), Hannah McGill (Writer, Critic & Festival Programmer), Sean Pertwee (Actor), Jamie Sives (Actor), Jason Solomons (Film Critic), Gary Williamson (Production Designer).
Created in 1998, The British Independent Film Awards were created to "celebrate merit and achievement in independently funded British filmmaking, to honour new talent, and to promote British films and filmmaking to a wider public." The host for the event for his sixth year will be actor James Nesbitt (Bloody Sunday). The BIFA 2010 ceremony will take place on Sunday December 5th at Old Billingsgate in London.
