2013 BAFTA Film Awards Nominations

Dave Mart

Too many nominations for Skyfall. Thomas Newman? Seriously? He was only nominted because of Adele's theme song.

Jan 9 - 10:58 AM

Cathal Carolan Christie

Exactly.I didn't think it was great at all.Definitely doesn't deserve to be on any of the lists.

Skyfall is an excellent example of how to promote a franchise. It was EVERYWHERE. From beer commercials, to the Olympics, to 60 Mins. you couldn't turn around without running into Bond. Add to that the fact that, although not a great film, it was a serviceable action/thriller/drama Bond film. Critics and audiences were so happy that the movie that had been bombarding their senses for months wasn't total shit.

Uh, Thomas Newman has been nominated 10 times, although I will admit this wasn't one of his best scores. He should have won for SHAWSHANK or WALL*E. He's my favorite living composer. Still, SKYFALL deserves cinematography at the very, very least; Roger Deakins is another SHAWSHANK veteran who's been ignored for far too long. I was actually upset he didn't get the Oscar for TRUE GRIT.

Skyfall rocked

Jan 9 - 03:07 PM

Dave Mart

Do films that "rock" deserve Awards?

Jan 11 - 08:27 PM

Gage Kent

Skyfall is actually deserving of all of its nominations. (Certainly more so than Les Mis.)

Jan 9 - 07:00 PM

Anthony Stokes

I do think Skyfall is surprisingly getting a lot of buzz but deservedly so maybe it doesn't deserve as high as 94 but I don't know anybody who would give it a negative rating so it made sense

Jan 9 - 09:24 PM

Sidhant Mishra

skyfall deserves almost all nominations(xcept 4 soundtrack).bt definitely it does NOT deserve a single win.

Jan 9 - 11:30 PM

Ian Lerch

It's odd that Les Mis got a Best Pic nomination without Screenplay, Director or Editing.

Jan 9 - 12:58 PM

Gage Kent

It is called politics. Les Mis was terrible.

Jan 9 - 06:54 PM

Dave Mart

I was excited of the idea of adapting Hugo's novel... but a musical film for the story is completely ridiculous.

Jan 10 - 02:43 PM

Tom Meadowcroft

It was the most successful stage musical of all time.

Jan 10 - 06:26 PM

Dave Mart

I've no doubt of that, but fans of the novel felt disappointed for a wasted opportunity. I haven't seen the film yet, but Hathaway looks ridiculous in the trailers.

Jan 11 - 08:26 PM

Jacob Barber

Fans of the novel got a film adaptation in the mid-90's which was pretty decent. Fans of the musical get Tom Hooper's steaming turd of a movie.

Jan 13 - 01:24 PM

Ian Lerch

Les Mis was awful. I guess they have to give their British filmmakers some love, though.

Jan 10 - 11:55 PM

Dave J

Not a memorable year for British films if they're going to include an action film such as "Skyfall" in the "Outstanding film category"!

Jan 9 - 01:36 PM

Mike Smith

Wait a minute!!! The Muppets came out in 2012??? Are they still using the Julian calendar???

Jan 9 - 02:13 PM

Ian Fastert

I know right? Weird.....

Jan 9 - 02:26 PM

Reza Trikurnia

that for schedule in uk

Jan 9 - 02:31 PM

Mick Travis

Whatever, I'll be rooting for Bobin!

Jan 9 - 11:54 PM

Reza Trikurnia

BEN AFFLECK for best actor???
helen mirren for best ACTRESS???
where john hawkes and Quvenzhane Wallis or Naomi Watts???

Jan 9 - 02:16 PM

Big Brother

Not British or Affleck enough apparently :). Seriously though, I think there's something in the BAFTA bylaws that says if Helen Mirren makes a film she has to get a nomination for it.

Jan 9 - 03:19 PM

Dave J

Helen Mirren to the UK awards like Streep to the Oscars! There's no sure thing this year unlike last year where "The King's Speech" swept every category it was nominated on or the "Four Weddings and a Funeral" movie- this time the UK are putting out more mediocres and counting on Skyfall to win on some of it's categories!

Jan 9 - 06:38 PM

Ian Fastert

Where the heck is Moonrise Kingdom? My Movie of the Year.

Jan 9 - 02:27 PM

Gage Kent

Chalk up yet another mistake with these nominations.

Jan 9 - 06:58 PM

Sergio Adrian Lozano

el hobbit es la mejor

Jan 9 - 03:20 PM

Hunter Hampton

Dark Knight Rises for special effects? Wtf...

Jan 9 - 03:51 PM

Dave Mart

TDKR had the best crafted visual effects of the year. The final scene involving The Bat escaping the missiles is technically brilliant, in fact, so much you don't even realize it's CG. Would you prefer the crappy blu-screen use of "The Avengers"?

Jan 11 - 08:23 PM

Christopher Greffin

I believe it's coming down to Lincoln and Zero Dark Thirty this award season. I hope for god's sake Les Miserables is not a serious contender for anything other than supporting actress and technical awards.

Jan 9 - 04:17 PM

Big Brother

I don't think it will be. May win one for Hathaway and probably costume design, but I think you're safe for the other categories. It's really not that bad a movie, unless you really just don't like musicals.

Jan 9 - 04:43 PM

Gage Kent

Don't underestimate Argo.

Jan 9 - 06:58 PM

Bradly Martin

Civil war era Paperwork sitting and talking vs Modern Day Paperwork sitting and talking...WHICH WILL WIN!

Jan 11 - 07:45 PM

Mark Conroy

no Jack Reynor fo/r rising star

Jan 9 - 04:24 PM

Chum Chum

Les Miserables..please go away

Jan 9 - 04:54 PM

Gage Kent

Les Mis was terrible.

Jan 9 - 06:59 PM

Mike Kowzun

Les Miserable: proving once again you can make a terrible movie and be nominated for a ton of awards by being ponderous, bloated and self-important.

Jan 9 - 05:03 PM

Bradly Martin

Isn't that all of these nominations? Self-important especially?

Jan 11 - 07:46 PM

Ken Chia

No Django Unchained?

Jan 9 - 05:25 PM

Darren James

Django Unchained for cinematography thankyou. Robert Richardson's work is classes above everybody else's.

Jan 9 - 05:55 PM

Bradly Martin

Ben Afleck for acting? The hell?

Jan 9 - 06:20 PM

Caio Alc�ntara

Ben Affeck best actor? No Django? No Dark Knight Rises? No Avengers? No MAtthew McConaughey for best actor in Killer Joe? Honestly, why Argo is so praised?

Jan 9 - 06:55 PM

Gage Kent

So many mistakes here. Life of Pi for best picture? Please. Ben Affleck for his acting in Argo? Please. (Argo was good, but his performance was nothing special.) No best director for Steven Spielberg? Please. I can't take any of these noms seriously now.

Jan 9 - 06:57 PM

Dave Mart

At least they didn't snub Tarantino.
