WIth the "long list" of favored British films announced on January 6, the official Bafta nominee list was finally made known on the morning of January 17, 2012 — resulting in a feverish round of voting by the British Academy to see who wins the ultimate UK award for best movie, acting and direction. The main event, (exactly two weeks before the Oscars), airs on BBC1 on Sunday, February 12, 2012 from the Royal Opera House in London as winners are announced at the official awards ceremony. WIth a total 12 nominations, leading the Baftas this year is "The Artist" including nods for Best Film, Original Screenplay, Original Music, Cinematography, and Costume Design.. Adding to the embarassment of riches, Michel Hazanavicius is nominated for Director and Jean Dujardin is nominated for Leading Actor. His "Artist" co-star Bérénice Bejo is nominated for Leading Actress. Like the Oscars, the Baftas are the country's top honor given to both British and international movie hits and in recent years has closely mimicked Hollywood (and vice versa), with some surprises.
