Conhecidos os nomeados para os BAFTA

A Academia Britânica para as Artes do Cinema e Televisão (BAFTA) apresentou os nomeados para os BAFTA de 2009. «Avatar» de James Cameron, «Estado de Guerra» de Kathryn Bigelow, e «An Education» da dinamarquesa Lone Scherfig (realizadora de «Wilbur Quer Se Matar» e «Italiano para Principiantes») são os principais candidatos a ter uma grande noite, ao terem conseguido oito nomeações cada.

Outro filme que alcançou bastantes nomeações foi «Distrito 9» de Neill Blomkamp, com sete nomeações. Seguem-se «Sacanas Sem Lei» de Quentin Tarantino, e «Nas Nuvens» de Jason Reitman, com seis nomeações cada.

Na corrida para melhor filme estrangeiro em língua não inglesa está o vencedor do Globo de Ouro na mesma categoria, «O Laço Branco» de Michael Haneke, que concorre contra «Abraços Desfeitos» de Pedro Almodóvar, «Coco Avant Chanel» de Anne Fontaine, «Deixa-me Entrar» de Tomas Alfredson e «Um Profeta» de Jacques Audiard.

Os vencedores vão ser conhecidos em Londres no dia 08 de Fevereiro. A lista com todos os nomeados é a seguinte:
