The Baftas all the nominations and our predictions

Ahead of Bafta Night, we look at who is in the running for the awards and who we think will win.

The Nominees are…

Best Film

Birdman

Boyhood

The Grand Budapest Hotel

The Imitation Game

The Theory of Everything

Verdict: With votes for The Imitation Game and The Theory Of Everything likely to be cast in the Outstanding British Film category, Boyhood the ambitious project about a boy growing up, shot with all the same cast over a period of 12 years may come of age.

Leading Actor

Benedict Cumberbatch (The Imitation Game)

Eddie Redmayne (The Theory Of Everything)

Jake Gyllenhaal (Nightcrawler)

Michael Keaton (Birdman)

Ralph Fiennes (Grand Budapest Hotel)

Verdict: Eddie and Benedict could split the home vote allowing Michael Keaton to wing his way in and snatch the trophy. but take it as red, it’s Eddie’s to lose.

Leading Actress

Amy Adams (Big Eyes)

Felicity Jones (The Theory Of Everything)

Julianne Moore (Still Alice)

Reese Witherspoon (Wild)

Rosamund Pike (Gone Girl)

Verdict: Rosamund Pike is brilliant in Gone Girl but the Bafta will most likely go to Julianne Moore, even though few people have seen her performance. She plays a university professor diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in a film which is not out in the UK until March 6.

Outstanding British Film

The Theory of Everything

’71

The Imitation Game

Paddington

Pride

Under The Skin

Verdict: Eddie Redmayne might pip his buddy Benedict Cumberbatch to the acting honours but The Imitation Game star can console himself in the knowledge he starred in the better Brit film.

Supporting Actor

Steve Carell (Foxcatcher)

Edward Norton (Birdman)

Ethan Hawke (Boyhood)

J.K. Simmons (Whiplash)

Mark Ruffalo (Foxcatcher)

Verdict: Steve Carell has been nominated for Best Leading Actor at the Oscars for the same role, but J. K. Simmons’ perfectionist music instructor in Whiplash is the most memorable performance of the five.

Supporting Actress

Emma Stone (Birdman)

Imelda Staunton (Pride)

Keira Knightley (The Imitation Game)

Patricia Arquette (Boyhood)

Rene Russo (Nightcrawler)

Verdict: Rene Russo disappeared from acting for a decade before returning with aplomb in Nightcrawler. Patricia Arquette spent even longer on Boyhood, a fact more likely to earn her recognition.
