Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone are up for best actor and actress for the musical
La La Land – the romantic musical that recently swept up a record-setting seven Golden Globes – has received the most nominations for the upcoming British Academy Film Awards.
The movie picked up 11 nods in all, including Best Movie, Best Director for Damien Chazelle, and Best Actor and Actress for stars Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone.
Hot on its heels, Denis Villeneuve’s sci-fi Arrival and Tom Ford’s psychodrama Nocturnal Animals hauled in nine nominations apiece.
British actors Andrew Garfield (for Mel Gibson’s Hacksaw Ridge), Emily Blunt (The Girl On The Train) and Hugh Grant (Florence Foster Jenkins) are also in line for awards, while Ken Loach film I, Daniel Blake is in the running for Best Film and Best British Film and JK Rowling's Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them is up for the Best British Film award.
We don't have long now to find out who wins: the awards ceremony, hosted by Stephen Fry, will take place on February 12th.
