Awards Watch: BAFTA Nominations

The British Academy of Film and Television Arts has announced their nominees for their BAFTA Awards, and the results aren't much different from what has been going on this side of the pond.

Slumdog Millionaire and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button racked up the most nominations with eleven each, including Best Film. Joining them in the top five are Frost/Nixon, Milk and The Reader, although Changeling's Clint Eastwood took Gus Van Sant's slot in the Best Director's list (seems even the English can't get enough of our Clint).

In the acting awards, Kate Winslet took two spots in the Best Actress race, for both The Reader and Revolutionary Road, while Brad Pitt also received double nominations, for Benjamin Button and Burn After Reading. See the comments section below for a quick look at all the nominees.

The 60th Annual BAFTA Awards will be presented February 8.
