Live-streamed to the world earlier this morning at bafta.org, the official nominations for the 2013 Baftas were revealed by rising British stars Alice Eve and Jeremy Irvine to an expectant online community. As heavily rumoured earlier this week, Sam Mendes’ Bond #23 Skyfall put in a strong showing, earning nods for Outstanding British Film, Best Supporting Actor (Javier Bardem), Best Supporting Actress (Judi Dench) and a host of technical awards. Elsewhere, Oscar hopefuls Les Misérables, Lincoln and Zero Dark Thirty also garnered numerous nominations. The inimitable Stephen Fry returns once again as host for this year’s EE-sponsored Bafta ceremony, taking place at the Royal Opera House this February.
