2012 BAFTA Nominations

Oscar Season just keeps on coming. As the Globes are winding down, the BAFTAs are just getting started.

The BAFTAs are notoriously loyal to the Brits and often offer a different palette of winners and nominees in comparison to the Globes and Oscars. As such, we have categories such as Outstanding British Debut and Outstanding British Film and the Orange Wednesdays Rising Star Award, which usually goes to a Brit because it is voted for by the public. Then again, the British public gave it to Kristen Stewart in 2010. Bloody Twi-hards.

You'll also notice that Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy is finally getting some recognition on this side of the pond with a whopping 11 nominations - although The Artist is still storming ahead with 12.

Here are the nominees:
