The British Academy of Film and Television Arts came out this morning with its 2012 Orange British Academy Film Awards nominations, which — wait for it — look suspiciously like the rest of the worlds 2012 film awards nominations. In fairness, for every nod thrown in the direction of The Artist , we witnessed some refreshing recognition for the likes of Drive , Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy , We Need to Talk About Kevin and a few select others. But hoo boy — another Albert Brooks snub? This is getting a little weird. More analysis forthcoming Wednesday in Movieline’s Oscar Index; congrats to all the nominees, listed below. The Orange British Academy Film Award winners will be announced Feb. 12 in a ceremony in London.
