In a yet another precursor to the Academy Awards, the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) today announced their 2001 nominations for the Orange British Academy Film Awards. With 12 nods apiece, The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of The Ring and Moulin Rouge lead the race, and are nominated along with Amelie, A Beautiful Mind, and Shrek for Best Film.
Predictably, Lord of the Rings and Moulin Rouge are competing in every BAFTA technical and design category. Another frequent nominee, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, is listed under its British title. Following is a partial list.
