With an incredible year of cinematic offerings from Hollywood it’s hardly surprising that the likes of Jennifer Lawrence (Silver Linings Playbook) and Jessica Chastain made it into the Leading Actress category and they weren’t alone. Following rather fashionably behind are Anne Hathaway (Les Miserables) and Amy Adams (The Master) who received nods for Supporting Actress.

But it’s not just the girls who are flying the flag for the US, Ben Affleck (Argo) and Bradley Cooper (Silver Linings Playbook) made it into the Leading Actor shortlist while Philip Seymour Hoffman (The Master) and Tommy Lee Jones (Lincoln) feature in the Supporting Actor line up.

In true British form our homegrown talent has also been honoured with Helen Mirren (Hitchock) and Judi Dench (Skyfall) also featuring in the BAFTA roll call. While Hugh Jackman (Les Miserables), Marion Cotillard (Rust and Bone) and Javier Bardem (Skyfall) also make BAFTA nominee appearances.

While the stars dream of going home with the glittering gong, Life of Pi is already warming up its hand having been nominated for nine awards but, if it hopes to dominate the night, it has some fierce competition from Skyfall, which is shortlisted for eight awards, and Les Miserables, which received seven nominations.

Leading Actor Ben Affleck (Argo) Bradley Cooper (Silver Linings Playbook) Daniel Day Lewis (Lincoln) Hugh Jackman (Les Miserables) Joaquin Phoenix (The Master)
