Earlier this morning the BAFTA<\/strong> nominations were announced and The King’s Speech<\/strong> leads the way with 14 nominations.<\/p>\n

It seems highly likely that Tom Hooper’s film is going to sweep the board this year, partly due to the built-in British bias of the awards and the fact that it is a special film that appeals to critics and audiences alike.<\/p>\n

BAFTA loves the opportunity to vote for its own, but before parts of the British media start gushing too loudly we should remember that both the BBC and Film 4 turned the project down.<\/p>\n

The full list actually feels like what the Oscar nominations will be with The Social Network, Black Swan, True Grit and Inception getting nominations in key categories.<\/p>\n

As to what this means for the Oscars, it is worth noting that Hailee Steinfeld has been nominated in the Lead Actress category for True Grit (technically correct, but will Academy voters do likewise for someone so young?) and Annette Benning and Julianne Moore have both been nominated for lead in The Kids Are Alright.<\/p>\n

As for some glaring omissions, check out the absence of Winter’s Bone from Best Actress and Adapted Screenplay, The Social Network from Original Music, Tron: Legacy from Visual Effects and The Illusionist from Animated Film.<\/p>\n

All of which seem to point to the flaws<\/a> in the BAFTA voting system<\/a> whose differences to\u00a0the Academy system<\/a> sometimes\u00a0lets odd choices slip through.<\/p>\n

With that in mind here is the full list:<\/p>\n
