Alfonso Cuaron's Gravity is the front runner out the gate for this years BAFTAs, taking the most nominations across the board with 11 nods, including Best Film, Best British Film, Best Director and Leading Actress for Sandra Bullock, who has some serious competition as she contends with Amy Adams (American Hustle), Cate Blanchett (Blue Jasmine), Judi Dench (Philomena) and Emma Thompson (Saving Mr Banks).
Good old Mickey Fassbender leads the nominations for the Irish with a nod for Supporting Actor in 12 Years A Slave which garnered 10 noms across all the main categories, just as many as American Hustle which means Fassbender is facing off against Bradley Cooper and fellow nominees Barkhad Abdi (Captain Phillips), Daniel Bruhl (Rush) and Matt Damon (Behind The Candleabra).
