Space thriller 1 "Gravity" won 11 BAFTA nominations 3 on Wednesday, putting it just ahead of the pack at Britain's top film honours, while "12 Years a Slave" and "American Hustle 4" were in the running in 10 categories.
British actors Helen McCrory and Luke Evans, who currently stars in the second Hobbit instalment, announced Wednesday's nominations. Both said they were impressed by this year's list of films and performances.
"This year each category is really hard fought for. It's a fantastic year for film," McCrory said.
"Some really great films and fantastic performances. There're a few that stuck out for me, which were in the categories. So that was nice to see," Evans said.
Film critic Mark Kermode said it's a great year for British films.
"As far as 'Gravity' is concerned, (it is) interesting to note that it's nominated both for Best Film and Best British Film," Kermode said. "I think some people don't necessarily think of it as a British film. You know it has Hollywood stars, Alfonso Cuaron is the director, but of course shot here at Pinewood in Shepperton, all those extraordinary special effects, those visual effects were all created here at Framestore by British technicians who remain the very very best in the world."

Other films competing for the BAFTA best film award are "American Hustle", Somali pirate thriller "Captain Phillips", and the heart-tugging adoption 5 drama "Philomena".
Vying 6 for the best actor prize are Christian 7 Bale in "American Hustle", Bruce Dern in "Nebraska", Leonardo DiCaprio in "The Wolf of Wall Street" and Tom Hanks in "Captain Phillips".
Veteran British star Judi Dench was one of five women competing for the best actress award. The biggest surprise in that category was the nomination 2 of Amy Adams for "American Hustle", while Meryl Streep was overlooked for "August: Osage County".
The BAFTA awards ceremony will take place in London on February 16th.
