Based on the novel by Charles Portis, True Grit, tells the story of fourteen-year-old Mattie Ross (Hailee Steinfeld), whose father has been shot in cold blood by the coward Tom Chaney (Josh Brolin), and she is determined to bring him to justice. Enlisting the help of a trigger-happy, drunken U.S. Marshal, Rooster Cogburn (Jeff Bridges), she sets out with him — over his objections — to hunt down Chaney. Her father’s blood demands that she pursue the criminal into Indian Territory and find him before a Texas Ranger named LeBouef (Matt Damon) catches him and brings him back to Texas for the murder of another man. True Grit is released at cinemas nationwide on 11th February.

"Avatar" and "The Hurt Locker" lead the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) nominations with eight each.
Sci-Fi film "District 9" garnered seven nominations, including one for Best Director, which is something we are unlikely to see from the Academy Awards.
"District 9" may get a Best Picture nomination now that the field has been expanded to 10 films, but we would be surprised to see it get a Best Director nomination.
Update: Sandra Bullock is not eligible for "The Blind Side" because it will not be released in the U.K. until 2010. We apologize for the error.
It's nice to see Jeremy Renner nominated for "The Hurt Locker." He was not nominated for the Golden Globe for Best Actor, though he was nominated for a Screen Actors Guild award, and has everyone wondering if he'll be nominated for an Oscar.
The entire field of nominees is as follows:

The Orange British Academy Film Awards can be influential on Academy voters. Thursday, BAFTA released their long list of 15 in each category (on the jump). You see the usual suspects, from dominant An Education (listed in 17 categories) to Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds (with 15), but District 9, Moon, Bright Star and A Serious Man get much-needed boosts, and it’s great to see some BAFTA attention for Tom Hooper’s football/soccer film The Damned United, written by Peter Morgan and starring Michael Sheen, which was overlooked by moviegoers when Sony Pictures Classics released it here. And BAFTA includes Star Trek in their top 15. Round Two of the BAFTA voting by 6000 members starts today. The nominations will be announced on January 21, and the …...
