BAFTA Nominations: Races Are Tightening

Sandra Bullock led Gravity to 11 nominations, more than any other film this year. 

Gravity may be the one to beat at the BAFTAs this year; the Brits loved Alfonso Cuaron's space epic and rewarded it with more nominations than 12 Years A Slave and American Hustle (both of which received a healthy amount of nominations as well).

Surprisingly, Dallas Buyers Club received absolutely no attention, not even for the two sure things McConaughey or Leto. This comes as a shock after the film received stronger than expected guild support with both PGA and WGA nominations. It shouldn't be any cause for alarm, however; the British contingent within the Academy isn't large enough to cause a shut out for Dallas Buyers Club (especially since the film managed an Ensemble nod from SAG).

August: Osage County managed only 1 nomination for Julia Roberts, who is becoming the film's only bid for Oscar it seems; with the late resurgence for American Hustle, Amy Adams might knock Streep out of the race (stranger things have happened).
