BAFTA 2011 Nominations Announced - THE KING'S SPEECH Leads With 14 Nods

The 2011 BAFTA Nominations have just been announced with The King's Speech leading the way with 14 nominations. No surprise there of course as the BAFTA's routinely congratulate British films and this will be the one ceremony where it is bound to top The Social Network, the clear Oscar favourite after this weekend's Golden Globes. The rest are the usual-usual of the Awards season focus but it's great to see the late Pete Postlewaite make the cut for Best Supporting Actor in The Town and that Hailee Steinfeld is included as BEST ACTRESS as she should be for True Grit.
