One each for Sound, Special Visual Effects and Hair &amp; Makeup. &#8220;Lincoln&#8221; received the most nominations with 10, even though Director Steven Spielberg was not one of the directorial nominees. Following close behind were &#8220;Argo,&#8221; &#8220;Les Miserables,&#8221; &#8220;Life of Pi&#8221; and &#8220;Zero Dark Thirty,&#8221; all with multiple nominations and among the Best Film category, along with &#8220;Lincoln.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In the Sound category, &#8220;The Hobbit&#8221; is nominated with &#8220;Django Unchained,&#8221; &#8220;Les Miserables,&#8221; &#8220;Life of Pi&#8221; and &#8220;Skyfall.&#8221; In my opinion if the voters were able to see and hear a Dolby Atmos screening, this would be in the bag, but that is still a fresh and technology with limited availability. In the Special Visual Effects category, &#8220;The Hobbit,&#8221; is nominated with &#8220;The Dark Knight Rises,&#8221; &#8220;Life of Pi,&#8221; &#8220;Prometheus&#8221; and &#8220;Marvel&#8217;s Avengers Assemble.&#8221; In the Hair and Makeup category, all the nominees except &#8220;The Hobbit&#8221; are period pieces, while &#8220;The Hobbit,&#8221; definitely has some fantastical creations. Not sure which is the advantage here. The other nominees are &#8220;Anna Karenina,&#8221; &#8220;Hitchcock,&#8221; &#8220;Les Miserables&#8221; and &#8220;Lincoln.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>One notable nominee in the Documentary category is &#8220;West of Memphis,&#8221; produced by Fran Walsh and Peter Jackson. Jackson appears in the film that looks at the arrest, conviction and release of three then teens for a murder in West Memphis, Arkansas. Many felt it was a wrong conviction. The British Academy Film Awards will take place on February 10 at London&#8217;s Royal Opera House.
