Steven Spielberg’s biopic of America’s much-loved president Abraham Lincoln has secured ten nominations for next month’s BAFTA awards, putting it one up on both Tom Hooper’s musical Les Miserables and Ang Lee’s Life of Pi.
But the British Academy of Film and Television Arts failed to include Spielberg himself on his film’s extensive nominations list. Among others, Lincoln is up for Best Film, Best Actor (Daniel Day-Lewis), Best Supporting Actor (Tommy Lee Jones) and Best Supporting Actress (Sally Field).
In the Best Film Category, it’s up against fellow Oscar favourites Ben Affleck’s Argo, Les Miserables, Life of Pi, and Kathryn Bigelow’s story about the capture of Osama Bin Laden, Zero Dark Thirty.
Spielberg missed out in the Best Director category to Affleck, Lee, Bigelow, Michael Haneke for his Palme d’Or winning Amour and Quentin Tarantino for his upcoming slave drama Django Unchained.
One of the big British hits of the year Skyfall has failed to make it onto the top list, but is in the running for the Best British Film of the year, alongside Les Miserables, Seven Psychopaths, Best Exotic Marigold Hotel and the sumptuous Anna Karenina.
As well as picking up nominations for Best Director and Best Writer for Haneke, Amour also secured a nod in the Best Actress category for the octogenarian Emmanuelle Riva and another in the Foreign Language category, where it’s up against two other French films, Untouchable and Rust & Bone, which won the London Star at the London Film Festival.
BAFTA’s Foreign Language category resembles UKscreen’s own best of the year list, with Amour nominated alongside Headhunters and The Hunt.
The British Academy will hand out its awards at the Royal Opera House on Sunday 10th February.
