Speculations have been whirring around about who might be in the line up for this year’s BAFTA awards; and you’ll be pleased to know that the time has come and the announcement’s for the official nominations are in.
We’ve been pinning our hopes on a few spectacular films that we have seen in the last year to be in the line up; and we are pretty pleased to see them coming up for their chance to grab an award…
Steven Spielberg and Todd Haynes‘ dramas have secured a whopping 9 nominations, while The Revenant follows with 8 and Mad Max: Fury Road comes at 7 nominations. Actor Eddie Redmayne is up for Best Actor and has a chance of winning his second BAFTA in a row after The Theory of Everything last year. He comes up against Bryan Cranston, Matt Damon, Leonardo DiCaprio and Michael Fassbender.
Brooklyn, Carol and Cinderella are included in the line up being recognised for their stunning Costume Design, with Brooklyn, Carol and The Danish Girl falling under Best Hair & Makeup too.
