Note the presence of Hunger for Best Debut Feature and Oustanding British Film. A shame it only gets a nod in the smaller categories, but the very existence of these awards gives such gems a chance to shine - it'll probably end up with both. Nothing suprising in the Film Not in the English Language race, except for Persepolis popping up (presumably not eligible for last year's due to release dates). But put Persepolis next to Waltz With Bashir and it's clearly overshadowed anyway. Nice that the excellent Gomorrah gets a look in too, although it and I've Loved You So Long both won't have much of a chance. Meanwhile, Man on Wire appears in several places, but it only brings into sharp relief the question that must be asked of BAFTA: why, oh why, is there no award for Best Feature Documentary? Moving on (deep breath), here's the complete list...

Here we go again, but this time on home soil, and Danny Boyle has done it a second time: with a total of 11 nominations, Slumdog Millionaire is all over the shop. In fact, the only other film with that many nods is The Curious Case of Benjamin Button - it grabbed nowt at the Globes, so it's not an odds-on favourite.
