BAFTA nominations 2013 announced

Today, on January 9th 2013, at "the ungodly hour" of 7.30 as "Empire" magazine calls it, the BAFTA nominations were announced. BAFTAs are one of my favorite awards, not only because they are British, but also, as I recently found out, the British Academy of Film and Television Arts is actually a charity that hosts annual  awards. BAFTA as the British Film Academy was founded in 1947 by David Lean, Alexander Korda, Carol Reed and others.
Usually the award ceremony takes place somewhere around the beginning of February, when the Berlinale also takes place. This year it will be February 10th at the Royal Opera House in London.
More from The Telegraph, The Guardian and full list here from the BAFTA's website.
Beside each nominated person or movie I put a mark to underline my own favorites for the awards. Some of the nominated films I have not yet seen, but they might be the most possible winners.
