Joe Wright’s Atonement leads the films in contention for the British Academy of Film and Television Awards (BAFTAs). Atonement has 17 recognitions, but it should be noted that includes four nominations within the supporting actress category which will likely cancel each other out before nominations are finalised.

Following Atonement are American Gangster, There Will Be Blood, No Country For Old Men and Elizabeth: The Golden Age with 13 mentions each.

BAFTA doesn’t announce until January 16, but members of the Academy have been sent the longlist of films still in contention after round-one voting.

BAFTA voters so far have shown support for UK projects like Elizabeth, Anton Corbijn’s Control (10 mentions) and David Cronenberg’s London-set Eastern Promises (9 mentions), as well as to foreign-language filmsup for major categories including The Diving Bell And The Butterfly (6 mentions), The Kite Runner (8 mentions), The Lives Of Others (8 mentions), Lust, Caution (10 mentions) and La Vie En Rose (8 mentions).

In a change this year, BAFTA had a special chapter nominate its Foreign Language Feature nominees, announced on Friday so that the overall membership can get a headstart watching those five films: The Diving Bell and The Butterfly; The Kite Runner; The Lives Of Others; Lust,Caution; and La Vie En Rose.

The second round of voting opened Friday night and continues until noon GMT on Jan 14, to determine the actual nominees. Members can now vote for up to five selections from the longlist of 15 in each category (except in Animated Film, in which members can vote for up to three.)
