BAFTA Long Lists

Some interesting choices, but for me the most striking things was the almost total exclusion of Nine. To me, the categories it is listed here are the ones it can potentially be competitive in at the Oscars (Actress, Supp. Actress, Techs); BP is dead.

Over 6000 members of the British Academy vote in three rounds to decide the winners of the Orange British Academy Film Awards. The long list is the result of Round One voting, which reduces the eligible films down to fifteen in each category. Round Two voting will reduce these fifteen contenders down to the five nominees. Asterisks denote the top 5 (or in some cases 6) voted by each chapter of the Academy in this first round.
