The British Academy Awards were announced this morning with "Lincoln", "Les Miserables", "Life of Pi", "Argo" and "Zero Dark Thirty" scoring Best Picture nominations.
"Lincoln" led the pack with 10 nominations but no directing nomination. "Life of Pi" and "Les Miserables" garnered nine nominations while Ben Affleck's "Argo" scored seven. "Zero Dark Thirty" took home five nominations. Like "Lincoln," "Les Miserables" failed to obtain a best director nomination for Tom Hooper.
In the Best Actor category Ben Affleck scored a surprise nomination for his role in "Argo" alongside Hugh Jackman, Daniel Day-Lewis, Bradley Cooper, and Joaquin Phoenix. Oscar contenders John Hawkes and Denzel Washington missed the cut.
In the Best Leading Actress category Emanuelle Riva and Helen Mirren joined front-runners Mariona Cottillard, Jessica Chastain, and Jennifer Lawrence as the nominees.
Christoph Waltz and Javier Bardem both scored nominations in the Best Supporting Actor category with Alan Arkin, Tommy Lee Jones and Phillip Seymour Hoffman. Robert De Niro, Leonardo Dicaprio and Ewan McGregor were left out.
In the Best Supporting Actress race Judi Dench was nominated alongside Amy Adams, Helen Hunt, Sally Field and Anne Hathaway.
Other films that had good showings included "Skyfall" with eight nominations, "Anna Karenina (six nominations)," and "The Master (four nominations)." "Beasts of the Southern Wild" and "Moonrise Kingdom" failed to capture major awards nominations. "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel" was also ignored by the BAFTAs.
The winners will be revealed on Sunday Feb. 10th, at the Royal Opera House in London.
