Outclassing stateside awards, the British Academy of Film and Television Arts have announced nominations for the 65th British Acadamy Film Awards. Including many titles seemingly missing from awards talk here, we see love for Nicolas Winding Refn‘s Drive, Tomas Alfredson‘s Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, Steve McQueen‘s Shame, Richard Ayoade‘s Submarine, Joe Cornish‘s Attack the Block, as well as the riveting documentary Senna. The Artist still reigns supreme with 12 nods, as it is likely to head all the way to the Best Picture Oscar. For now, lets celebrate that strong taste this British voting body has and see the list below.
