Black Swan followed close behind with twelve nominations, including Best Film, Director (Darren Aronofsky), Original Screenplay (Mark Heyman, Andres Heinz, John Mclaughlin) and Actress (Natalie Portman). Interestingly, their choice for Best Supporting Actress was Barbara Hershey rather than the Golden Globe nominated Mila Kunis. Both Black Swan and The King's Speech had led the BAFTA longlist with 15 mentions.
Inception was next with nine nominations, followed by True Grit with eight and 127 Hours which took seven. The Social Network received just six nominations. This is correct in my view, as each of those five films are superior to, but neglected in favour of, a rather over-written blab-fest.
It was nice to see the late Pete Postlethwaite receive a nomination for his work in The Town. But there were a number of noteworthy omissions including Jennifer Lawrence (Winter's Bone), Tilda Swinton (I Am Love), Nicole Kidman (Rabbit Hole), and both Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams (Blue Valentine). Other than I Am Love, those films were ignored altogether, as were The Ghost Writer and Never Let Me Go.
The BAFTA Awards probably won't have a great deal of influence on the Oscars, especially since the Oscar nomination ballots were due last week. Although the voting has yet to take place, both BAFTA and AMPAS tend to be nationalistic with their votes so it won't come as a surprise if The King's Speech takes BAFTA while The Social Network leads the Oscars. But if voters choose the better film that isn't just writing but a complete cinematic experience that moves them emotionally, then The King's Speech will dominate both.
Hosted for the fifth year by Jonathan Ross, the 14th Orange British Academy Film Awards take place February 13 at the Royal Opera House, London.
