London Evening Standard British Film Awards - nominees


The British newspaper Evening Standard has unveiled the contenders for its 2010 London Evening Standard British Film Awards. Competing for Best Film are Another Year, The Arbor, The Illusionist, Kick-Ass, The King's Speech, Neds and Never Let Me Go.

The Standard awards do not have separate lead and supporting categories for the actors. As a result, co-stars Keira Knightley and Carey Mulligan from Never Let Me Go compete against each other. Their co-star Andrew Garfield is nominated for his work in both Never Let Me Go and The Social Network.

The nominees for Best Documentary are A Day In The Life, Oil City Confidential, Enemies Of The People, Exit Through The Gift Shop, Land Of The Free and No Greater Love.

The Standard awards consider British films released between last February and the start of February this year, or performances or works by British actors or film-makers in any films released during the same period.

The Standard awards were founded in 1973 and are chosen by a jury of critics. The ceremony will be hosted by "Green Wing" star Stephen Mangan on February 7, 2011 at the London Film Museum at County Hall.
