Tis the Season: The BAFTA's


(Scroll over any film title for the full Black Sheep review.)

THE KING'S SPEECH may have lost the Golden Globe this weekend to THE SOCIAL NETWORK but thanks to its strong showing across the pond at the BAFTA's, the British Academy Award if you will, it is now back on track for a big splash at the Oscars. THE KING'S SPEECH leads the BAFTA nominations with 14 nods, 2 more than the second nomination leader, BLACK SWAN. Both films are nominated for Best Picture, alongside INCEPTION, THE SOCIAL NETWORK and TRUE GRIT. The BAFTA's threw a few wrenches into the awards season mix, primarily in its Best Actress category. Both Julianne Moore and Noomi Rapace are considered long shots for Oscar nods but both appear here for their films, THE KIDS ARE ALL RIGHT and THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO, respectively. The latter actually earned two other nominations, including Foreign Language Film and Adapted Screenplay. Meanwhile, the BAFTA's cleared up a couple of confusions by placing Hailee Steinfeld in the lead category for her turn in TRUE GRIT and Lesley Manville in the supporting category for her role in ANOTHER YEAR. The BAFTA's are not tripping over THE FIGHTER like they are stateside either. The David O. Russell film only managed three nods, one for supporting actors, Christian Bale and Amy Adams, and one for the screenplay. Even Golden Globe winner, Melissa Leo, an Oscar favorite, was left off the ballot.

The BAFTA's will celebrate their 14th year by handing out the awards on February 13, at the Royal Opera House in London.
