The 2015 BAFTA nominations were announced on Friday, where Wes Anderson’s Grand Budapest Hotel established itself as a leading contender. The film received a total of 11 nominations — more than any other film — including nods in the Best Film, Best Director and Leading Actor (for Ralph Fiennes) categories.

The Stephen Hawking biopic The Theory of Everything also fared well with ten nominations, as did the black comedy Birdman. Somewhat surprisingly, the civil rights film Selma, which stars British actor David Oyelowo as Martin Luther King Jr., failed to receive a single nomination.
