The British loving a British film? Not a huge surprise, but “Atonement” has led a bumpy award season life with tons of accolades and then tons of major snubs. We still think (and hope) it’s not going to do well come Oscar nom time. The WWII epic picked up fourteen BAFTA (British Film and Television Awards) nominations today (January 16) including Best Picture and Best Male and Female Lead (they liked the film so much they nominated it twice – once for Best Film and one for Best British film cause one nod wasn’t enough – the full list).
Oh and in case you’re wondering, yes, Jonny Greenwood got nominated for a BAFTA Best Music award for his “There Will be Blood,” compositions. Another no-brainer. Although they were up for early BAFTA consideration, the music for “Into The Wild,” “Once” and “Control” were all shut-out.
