The BAFTA Nominations Are Revealed, With LGBT Films Doing Pretty Well

January 8, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

gravity-poster3The BAFTA nominations are out, with Gravity getting the most nods with 11 nominations. 12 Years a Slave and American Hustle are each nominated in ten categories, while Captain Phillips has nine nominations. Behind the Candelabra and Saving Mr. Banks are each nominated five times.

Gravity will compete in the Best Film, Outstanding British Film, Director for Alfonso Cuarón, Original Screenplay, Original Music, Cinematography, Editing, Production Design, Sound, Special Visual Effects and Leading Actress.

The nominees for the EE Rising Star Award, which is always an interesting category to watch, were announced earlier this week. They include are Dane DeHaan, George MacKay, Lupita Nyong’o, Will Poulter and Léa Seydoux. This audience award is voted for by the British public and presented to an actor or actress who has demonstrated exceptional talent and promise.

On the LGBT front, Behind The Candelabra did well with five nominations in the Adapted Screenplay, Production Design, Costume Design and Make Up & Hair categories. Matt Damon is nominated for Supporting Actor. As it premiered on TV in the US, it’s not eligible for the Oscars, but its British cinema release allows it to compete at the BAFTA film awards.

The lesbian-themed Blue is the Warmest Colour, which won the Palm d’Or, is nominated for Film Not in the English Language. Philomena, which includes a gay subtheme, will compete for Best Film line-up, with three further nominations in Outstanding British Film, Adapted Screenplay and Leading Actress for Judi Dench.

The EE British Academy Film Awards take place on Sunday 16 February at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, London.
