Gary Oldman as George Smiley in Tomas Alfredson’s film of John Le Carr\u00e9’s ‘Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy’<\/p><\/div>\n

By Ray Bennett<\/p>\n

StudioCanal\u2019s \u201cTinker Tailor Soldier Spy\u201d and other UK films joined many of the movies that were celebrated at the Golden Globes in nominations announced today for the British Academy Film Awards.<\/p>\n

Presented on Feb. 17 by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts, sponsored by Orange, and set to be telecast live on BBC1, the awards pit \u201cTinker Tailor\u201d against Globes winners \u201cThe Artist\u201d (Entertainment) and \u201cThe Descendants\u201d (20th Century Fox) plus Icon\u2019s \u201cDrive\u201d and Disney\u2019s \u201cThe Help\u201d in the competition for best film.<\/p>\n

The espionage tale faces Entertainment\u2019s \u201cMy Week With Marilyn\u201d, Universal\u2019s \u201cSenna\u201d, Momentum\u2019s \u201cShame\u201d and Artificial Eye\u2019s \u201cWe Need To Talk About Kevin\u201d in the best British film category.<\/p>\n

\u201cTinker Tailor\u201d, with 11 nominations including Gary Oldman as best actor and Tomas Alfredson as best director, follows \u201cThe Artist\u201d, which leads with 12 including Jean Dujardin as best actor, B\u00e9r\u00e9nice Bejo as best actress, and Michel Hazanavicius as best director.<\/p>\n

Entertainment\u2019s \u201cHugo\u201d by Globes-winning director Martin Scorsese won six nominations followed by \u201cMy Week With Marilyn\u201d with six, and \u201cThe Help\u201d and \u201cWar Horse\u201d, both from Disney, with five apiece.<\/p>\n

Oldman and Dujardin square off as best actor against George Clooney in \u201cThe Descendants\u201d, Jean Dujardin in \u201cThe Artist\u201d, Michael Fassbender in Momentum\u2019s \u201cShame\u201d and Brad Pitt in Sony\u2019s \u201cMoneyball\u201d.<\/p>\n

Bejo and Globes winners Meryl Streep, for Fox\u2019s \u201cThe Iron Lady\u201d and Michelle Williams, for \u201cMy Week With Marilyn\u201d, face Tilda Swinton, for \u201cWe Need To Talk About Kevin\u201d and Viola Davis, for \u201cThe Help,\u201d as best actress.<\/p>\n

Surprising omissions from the nominations include Anna Paquin as best actress in Fox’s long-delayed Kenneth Lonergan film “Margaret”,\u00a0Olivia Colman as best actress and Peter Mullan as best actor in \u201cTyrannosaur\u201d, which did get a mention for director Paddy Considine and producer Diarmid Scrimshaw in the best British debut category. Other much-praised contenders missing include Felicity Jones as best actress for Paramount\u2019s \u201cLike Crazy\u201d and Vanessa Redgrave as best supporting actress for \u201cCoriolanus\u201d, which won a best debut nomination for director Ralph Fiennes.<\/p>\n
