The Artist dominates the BAFTA nominations

If you've been to The Cinema at Gloucester Guildhall at all over the past 6 months, chances are you'll be able to hold a pretty thorough BAFTA conversation, as we've brought you almost half of all the films nominated for the awards.

Out in front is The Artist with a huge 12 nominations, including Best Film, Director, Original Screenplay, Leading Actor and Leading Actress (nothing for the dog though, sadly). Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy follows closely behind with 10 nominations, which include Best Film, Director, Adapted Screenplay and Best Actor for Gary Oldman.

Outstanding British Film favoured My Week With Marilyn, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy and We Need To Talk About Kevin, with Outstanding Debut By A British Writer, Director or Producer giving a welcome nod to Richard Ayoade's Submarine.

Other notable mentions include Potiche for Film Not In The English Language, The Guard for Original Screenplay, and a handful for The Iron Lady and War Horse, which come to the Guildhall in February.
