Marion Cotillard, Alicia Vikander, Helena Bonham Carter, Tom Hardy, Tom Hiddleston, Michael Fassbender and Colin Farrell are among the nominees in the acting categories. Just weeks after launching across U.K. cinemas and getting its British premiere at the BFI London Film Festival, Yorgos Lanthimos’ comedy-romance The Lobster has picked up the biggest haul of nominations for this year’s British Independent Film Awards.
The nominations were announced Tuesday. The film – which first bowed in Cannes – earned seven nominations, including in the categories best British independent film, best director, best screenplay and producer of the year, with Colin Farrell up for best actor and Olivia Colman and Ben Whishaw for their supporting roles.
Elsewhere, Berlinale winner 45 Years earned six nominations, the same amount as Macbeth. Asif Kapadia’s Amy Winehouse documentary Amy – already the most successful British doc of all time – picked up five nominations alongside Alex Garland’s sci-fi movie Ex Machina and Brooklyn.
Last year saw father and son acting duo Timothy Spall and Rafe Spall pick up nominations in the best actor and best supporting actor categories. The 2015 nominations list includes Brendan Gleeson and son Domnhall Gleeson who are both up for the best supporting actor honor.
