BAFTA Nominations

The BAFTA nominations were revealed today and there are some surprises.

Here’s what I noticed:

  • Complete snub of Winter’s Bone — no Jennifer Lawrence nomination
  • No women directors nominated
  • Finally a little love for Made in Dagenham with a nomination for outstanding British film and finally a nod for Miranda Richardson.
  • Noomi Rapace got a nod for The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo
  • Hailee Steinfeld is in the leading actress category and Lesley Manville in the supporting category.
  • Melissa Leo left out of the supporting category
  • No Women Nominated for Music, Visual Effects, Cinematography, Editing
  • Women nominees dominate the costume and makeup and hair.

Awards will be given out on February 13.
