Lincoln Leads 65Th Annual Bafta Nominations But Steven Spielberg Snubbed For Best Director

‘Lincoln’ Leads 65th Annual BAFTA Nominations, But Steven Spielberg Snubbed For Best Director

By Germain Lussier/Jan. 9, 2013 8:31 am EST

The list of nominees for the 65th annual British Academy of Film and Television Arts Awards (also known as BAFTA) feel oddly familiar, yet throw a few curveballs. For example, Steven Spielberg’s Lincoln leads the nominees with ten nominations, including nods for Best Picture, Actor, Adapted Screenplay and Supporting Actor and Actress. However it’s director was snubbed in the Best Director category. Also passed over for director was Tom Hooper, whose Les Miserables pulled eight nominations including Best Picture, British Film, Actor, Supporting Actress.

In their places in the Best Director race are Quentin Tarantino, for Django Unchained, and Michael Haneke for Amour. That should please some who were upset that Tarantino was snubbed in the DGA nominations yesterday. Check out the full list below. Thanks to Deadline for the full list of BAFTA nominees. BEST FILM ARGO Grant Heslov, Ben Affleck, George Clooney LES MISÉRABLES Tim Bevan, Eric Fellner, Debra Hayward, Cameron Mackintosh LIFE OF PI Gil Netter, Ang Lee, David Womark LINCOLN Steven Spielberg, Kathleen Kennedy ZERO DARK THIRTY Mark Boal, Kathryn Bigelow, Megan Ellison OUTSTANDING BRITISH FILM ANNA KARENINA Joe Wright, Tim Bevan, Eric Fellner, Paul Webster, Tom Stoppard THE BEST EXOTIC MARIGOLD HOTEL John Madden, Graham Broadbent, Pete Czernin, Ol Parker
