Nominations Wed 9 Jan 13 • Awards Sun 10 Feb 13

Notes by Rich: After some changes in their voting system, Bafta has produced an even more homogeneous list of nominees, essentially mimicking American fanboy punditry rather than British taste in cinema. Aside from documentaries, the smaller, more interesting British films and performances were completely ignored (nothing for much-loved Sightseers, Berberian Sound Studio, My Brother the Devil). Even the foreign film category is mainstream, and starry foreigners Amour and Rust and Bone are the only non-studio films in main categories. And the winners are pretty much right down the line, with added love for Tarantino/Waltz and David O Russell. Finally, the rising star category is becoming a joke, packed with established actors instead of actual rising stars like The Impossible's astounding Tom Holland, or What Richard Did's Jack Reynor, who just landed a role in Transformers 4. He'll be a risen star by the time they notice him...
