"   The BAFTA nominees 2014 have been announced, and as ever, there are a few clear favourites when it comes to the past year&amp;#039;s movies. Gravity, the film that had us enthralled with its beautiful shots of space and made us so tense we almost forgot to eat our kingsize bucket of popcorn (almost), has been nominated for an impressive eleven awards. This includes a nod for best lead actress for Sandra Bullock, who plays astronaut Ryan Stone in the breathtaking film. 12 Years A Slave and American Hustle are hot on Gravity&amp;#039;s heels with ten nominations each, while Saving Mr Banks and Behind the Candlebra have five apiece. Rivalling Sandra Bullock for the Leading Actress award are Amy Adams (American Hustle), Judi Dench (Philomena), Cate Blanchett (Blue Jasmine) and Emma Thompson (Saving Mr Banks). Jennifer Lawrence, Julia Roberts and Oprah Winfrey are among those up for the Supporting Actress prize. Meanwhile Leading Actor will be a contest between Chiwetel Ejiofor (12 Years A Slave), Christian Bale (American Hustle), Tom Hanks (Captain Philips), Leonardo DiCaprio (The Wolf Of Wall Street)&amp;quot; and Bruce Dern (Nebraska). Matt Damon, Bradley Cooper and Michael Fassbender are just a few of our faves up for the Supporting Actor trophy. The BAFTAs are often seen as an indicator of Oscar success, so we&amp;#039;ll be very interested to watch the ceremony which takes place on 16th February in London&amp;#039;s Royal Opera House. SANDRA BULLOCK SAYS WE NEED MORE LEAD ROLES FOR WOMEN FILMS WITH STRONG FEMALES MAKE MORE MONEY  CAKE TO BLAME FOR JENNIFER LAWRENCE&amp;#039;S OSCAR FALL    "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
