\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The official long list of the BAFTAs<\/strong> was announced today, with An Education<\/a> leading the field with 17 mentions.<\/p>\n

Other films with quite a few nominations include Inglourious Basterds<\/a> (15 mentions), The Hurt Locker<\/a> (12 mentions), Avatar<\/a> (11 mentions and The Lovely Bones<\/a> (11 mentions).<\/p>\n

Perhaps the suprising underdog of the pack – given the lack of US awards heat – is Moon<\/a> which received 10 mentions, including the big categories of Best film, director and actor.<\/p>\n

The process involves around\u00a06000 members of BAFTA<\/a> who vote in three rounds to decide the winners at the Orange British Academy Film Awards<\/a> on February 21st.<\/p>\n

The long list is the result of Round One voting, which whittles down eligible films down to fifteen in each category.<\/p>\n

Round Two voting will then reduce these fifteen contenders down to the final five nominees which will be announced on Thursday 21st January at BAFTA HQ in London.<\/p>\n

The asterisks below show the top 5\u00a0(or in certain cases 6) voted by each chapter of the Academy in this first round. (Have a listen to my interview with BAFTA’s Amanda Berry from 2008<\/a> for further details on how the voting system works).<\/p>\n

As ever with BAFTA watch out for delayed releases (Gran Torino<\/a> is a 2008 film which Warner Bros couldn’t be bothered to screen in time for last year’s deadlines) and the British bias (Carey Mulligan<\/a> and Colin Firth<\/a> seem like slam-dunks to win in their respective categories – not that they aren’t deserving, but there is something a little parochial when BAFTA voters go for the ‘home vote’).<\/p>\n

Here is the long list in full:<\/p>\n
