2010 BAFTA Awards Long List
Before announcing the long list (the results of Round One of three) the Academy announced the nominations for the following category.
Film Not in the English Language
Abrazos Rotos (Broken Embrances)
Coco Avant Chanel (Coco Before Chanel)
Let the Right One In
A Prophet
The White Ribbon
To read the official announcement please go here. Have seen the five and truly love the Swedish vampire movie, but my vote is split between A Prophet and The White Ribbon.
So here is the long list for some categories. Remember that over 6000 members of the Academy vote in three rounds and this is the result of Round One that distilled 220 films down to fifteen in each category, Round Two will reduce the fifteen to the five nominations in each category. The full list of nominations will be announced Thursday January 21.
