Wes Anderson’s The Grand Budapest Hotel is the frontrunner for the 2015 British Academy Film Awards after the announcement of the nominations, picking up nods in 11 categories. Birdman and The Theory of Everything both have 10, with The Imitation Game on nine. Those four films will compete for best film alongside Richard Linklater’s Boyhood, which has a total of five nominations.

The Imitation Game and The Theory of Everything are also up for outstanding British film, a category rounded out by Under the Skin, Pride, ’71 and Paddington.

Three British actors are recognised in the best actor category: Ralph Fiennes for The Grand Budapest Hotel, Eddie Redmayne for The Theory of Everything and Benedict Cumberbatch for The Imitation Game. They will challenge Michael Keaton for Birdman and Jake Gyllenhaal for Nightcrawler. 

Brits Felicity Jones, for The Theory of Everything, and Rosamund Pyke, for Gone Girl, compete for best actress of the year, alongside Amy Adams for Big Eyes, Julianne Moore for Still Alice and Reese Witherspoon for Wild. The Imitation Game’s Keira Knightley and Pride’s Imelda Staunton get best supporting actress nods.

Other films with multiple nominations include Whiplash with five, Mr. Turner, Nightcrawler and Interstellar with four, and Pride with three.

Mr. Turner, Pride, ’71, Under the Skin, Belle, and best documentary contender 20,000 Days on Earth are all backed by the BFI Film Fund. Short films Boogaloo and Graham, Emotional Fusebox, The Kármán Line and Three Brothers also received BFI backing.

The Imitation Game was the opening gala film of the 58th BFI London Film Festival. Other nominees first seen by UK audiences at the LFF include Birdman, Whiplash, Foxcatcher, Under the Skin, Citzenfour, ’71, Mr. Turner, Wild, The Lunchbox, Ida and Leviathan.

The winners will be announced at a ceremony at London’s Royal Opera House on 8 February.
