BAFTA 2009 Full List Of Nominees
The next Orange British Academy Film Awards will take place on Sunday 8 February 2009 at the Royal Opera House in London.
The first nominations – The Film Not in the English Language – have been announced and the full list will be announced on Thursday 15 January. For the second year running, The Film Not in the English Language Chapter nominees have been announced ahead of the nominations in other categories:
The Baader Meinhof Complex
Gomorrah
I’ve Loved You So Long
Persepolis
Waltz with Bashir
“The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” and “Frost/Nixon” lead in the longlists for the British Academy Film Awards with 14 nominations each.
In what promises to be a tight race for BAFTA gold this year, nine films boast 10 or more longlist nominations: “Slumdog Millionaire,” “The Reader,” “Revolutionary Road,” “Changeling” and “The Dark Knight” – 13 nominations. “Milk” and “Burn After Reading” – 11.
Last year, “Atonement” collected 17 longlist nominations, four ahead of the next best contenders.
“Doubt,” “The Wrestler” and “In Bruges” – 9 nominations each, “The Boy in the Striped Pajamas” – 8, “Wall-E” – 6 and “I’ve Loved You So Long” – 5.
Other well supported films among the total 45 longlisted titles are U.K. box office sensation “Mamma Mia!” and “The Duchess” – nine each. Critically lauded British film “Hunger” and “Happy-Go-Lucky” managed just three nominations each.
In the supporting actor category, Ralph Fiennes is nominated for “The Reader,” “In Bruges” and “The Duchess”. Kate Winslet for lead actress for “The Reader” and “Revolutionary Road”; Meryl Streep, for leads in “Mamma Mia!” and “Doubt”; John Malkovich, for supporting roles in “Changeling” and “Burn After Reading”; and Tilda Swinton for supporting turns in “Benjamin Button” and “Burn After Reading.”
The BAFTA longlists include 15 contenders in each category, from which the five nominees will be chosen in the second round of voting. Once the nominees are finalized, the whole membership votes again to decide the best film, four acting prizes and film not in the English language. In all remaining categories, the members of each chapter (or jury) determine the vote.
