Steven Spielberg “Lincoln” leads British Academy Awards noms

PanARMENIAN.Net - Lincoln leads the pack of nominations for this year's British Academy Film Awards, presented by the British Academy of Film And Television Arts and sponsored by cell phone giant EE, securing 10 nominations, The Hollywood Reporter said.

Jeremy Irvine (Warhorse) and Alice Eve (Men in Black 3) were on hand at BAFTA's central London HQ to announce the nominations for this year's awards.

Les Misérables and Life of Pi are each nominated in nine categories while Skyfall has eight nominations.

Argo has seven nominations, and Anna Karenina has six. Django Unchained and Zero Dark Thirty are each nominated five times.

The winners will be presented with their nods at a ceremony scheduled for Sunday, Feb. 10 at the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden in the British capital.

The awards ceremony, to be hosted by Stephen Fry, will be followed by a swanky official black tie dinner at the Grosvenor House Hotel. It will be broadcast on BBC America in the U.S. and in the U.K. on BBC1.

BAFTA organizers resisted moving the scheduled dates for the nominations after a decision in the U.S. to move the Academy Awards nominations day to Jan. 10, leaving a day between them.
