BAFTA Nominations

This morning the BAFTA nominations were announced there were a few surprises (good and bad) but they were mostly what I was expecting.  Gravity, 12 Years a Slave, American Hustle and Captain Phillips are the big leaders with Wolf in Wall Street and Philomena close behind.  Her, The Dallas Buyer's Club and Inside Llewyn Davies did not do so well which is definitely a surprise.
