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.
