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.
