We Heart Awards Season

The nominations are in.

The BAFTAs. Not quite as amazing as the Oscars, but far less embarrassing for the UK than the BRIT Awards.

Double Golden Globe winner Kate Winslet has TWO nods for Leading Actress and we have a feeling her mantel piece is going to be glistening with multiple prizes for her star turns in Revolutionary Road and The Reader by the end of awards season.

Elsewhere, Slumdog Millionaire leads the pack with 11 nominations (as does The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button.) The skinny virgin from low-rent TV show Skins (essentially a 'gritty' Hollyoaks with drugs), Dev Patel, has only gone and bagged himself Leading Actor alongside Mickey Rourke, Brad Pitt, Sean Penn and Frank Langella... Amazing.

And over in the Music Department, the nominations are as follows:
The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button – Alexandre Desplat
The Dark Knight
– Hans Zimmer, James Newton Howard
Mamma Mia
– Benny Andersson, Björn Ulvaeus
Slumdog Millionaire
– AR Rahman
Wall-E
– Thomas Newman

If Mamma Mia wins anything, we're retiring.
