Awards season is well and truly under way and this week is definitely set to be a busy one in the film calendar. Thursday sees the release of the highly anticipated Oscar nominations across the pond but this morning we had some gong related news a little closer to home with the announcement of the BAFTA award nominees.
Star Trek Into Darkness starlet Alice Eve (girl crush or wha?) and War Horse hunk Jeremy Irvine were on hand to reveal who was in the running. Lincoln topped the bill with nods in no less than ten categories while Les Miserables and Life of Pi secured seven nominations each. Skyfall came in fourth with eight nominations while Argo rounded off the big hitters with seven.
Stephen Fry will once again do the honours, hosting the ceremony on Sunday February 10th at London's Royal Opera House. Here's the full list of nominees:
