65th British Academy Film Awards Nominations Tue 17 Jan 12 • Awards Sun 12 Feb 12 Notes by Rich: Bafta nominations always seem just a little offbeat, taking what we generally expect from Oscar nods (which come a couple of weeks later) and throwing in several wild cards. Once again, Bafta voters have snubbed some highly acclaimed films (The Tree of Life, Melancholia, Margaret) and performances (Olivia Colman, Vanessa Redgrave, Albert Brooks). More surprising is the way they ignored superior British films like Kill List, Weekend and Dreams of a Life, and there isn't even an technical nod to Wuthering Heights. Why in a year that was so rich for docs are there only three rather tepid nominees? Equally unexpected is the exuberant support for The Help. But at least they nominated Swinton, Fassbender and Mulligan, all ignored by Oscar voters. And it's not surprising that The Artist and Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy swept up awards as expected. Actually, all the winners were fairly predictable... More comments on the Bafta 2012 ceremony > >
