The rest of the nominations are here. Discuss!

I've not seen them, obviously, but from what I've heard and read about the nominees, I think that must be the strongest Outstanding British Film for some time. The Documentary category isn't too strong, though. Again, from what I've read and heard, The Act Of Killing should be the frontrunner. I've seen Blackfish, which was OK, and still have We Steal Secrets to watch, but, again from what I've heard/read, it's not on par with The Act Of Killing. Not even close. I'm just hoping I like it more than Blackfish. The other two may be good, but I have no interest in either of them. I think the Adapted Screenplay award looks strong, too.

Yeah, The Act of Killing seems like a frontrunner for this and the Oscar. Can't wait to see it.

They've already shown it on Sky Atlantic. I'm sure they will again, at some point, if you can get that. BBC4 have already shown Blackfish two or three times.

If Frozen does not win best animated feature I will have to punch someone in the penis.

That would be awkward. Like Pink Flamingos awkward.

Interesting selection of actors, no Robert Redford of Matthew McConaughey for best actor and no Jared Leto for supporting.
