The BAFTAS - The King's Speech has 14 Nominations. True Grit has 8

The BAFTAS 2011 List of Nominations is out.
The King's Speech has a whopping fourteen including Best Original Screenplay, Best Film, Best Director, Best Actor and Best Editing.

The Coens' True Grit got zero nominations at the Golden Globes, but they're on the BAFTA list for eight including Best Film, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Cinematographer (the Coens' regular, Roger Deakins, Best Actor (Jeff Bridges) and Best Actress (Hailee Steinfeld)

I always find it interesting to compare the current nominees of screen awards with the winners of the previous years.
