2012 BAFTA Nominations Aannounced

BAFTA, aka The British Academy of Film and Television Arts nominations are announced guys! I'm looking at this full list and can't help but wonder is this going to be a Golden Globe remake? I mean, don't get me wrong, but we have The Artist with even 12 nominations, then Scorsese's Hugo with nine nominations and My Week With Marilyn with six. Yeah, yeah, now some smart ass will say – but look, there's a Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy with eleven nominations and Drive with 4! And I will say – at least something worth my attention!
