The British Academy of Film & Television announced the 2013 nominations for outstanding motion pictures and performances with Lincoln leading the pack.

Steven Spielberg‘s movie of the 16th President of the United States nabbed 10 nominations including Best Film, Leading Actor, and Supporting Actress and Actor but the director was left out in the cold and not acknowledged, unlike Peter Jackson‘s The Hobbit – which was snubbed in every major category.

Spielberg wasn’t the only director whose picture was nominated for Best Film but left off the Best Director list. Les Miserables‘ Tom Hooper also was dismissed on the direction front.

Les Mis wasn’t shunned entirely. It and Life of Pi were close behind Lincoln with 9 nominations each. The most successful James Bond film of all time, Skyfall, was also acknowledged with 8 nods.

The Outstanding British Film category included Anna Karenina, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, Seven Psychopaths, Les Miserables and Skyfall.

Other mulitple nominations include Ben Affleck‘s Argo with seven, Anna Karenina with six and Zero Dark Thirty and Django Unchained have 5 nominations each.
