Edited by Lester Brathwaite

Awards season is in full swing as we inch ever closer to the grand daddy of them all, the 2012 Academy Awards. The next step on the road to Oscar is its British equivalent, the BAFTAs. The Artist is quickly emerging as a front-runner favorite this year, scoring nominations in all the major categories including  Best Film, Leading Actor, Leading Actress, Best Director and Original Screenplay. Meanwhile, Meryl Streep and Michelle Williams, fresh off their Golden Globe wins, will go head-to-head against The Artist‘s Bérénice Bejo, Tilda Swinton for We Need to Talk About Kevin and Viola Davis for The Help in what is easily the most competitive and interesting category. And chances are the same names will be read out come Oscar night. But until then, full list of the 2012 BAFTA nominees after the jump!

Depp to Play Riddler, Hoffman to Play Penguin

Edited by Rebecca Alexander

Philip Seymour Hoffman and Johnny Depp are being courted for roles in a sequel to The Dark Knight.

“(Producers) are convinced that the role of the Riddler is perfect for Depp’. He’ll be able to take direction from director Chris Nolan and still make the character his own. And what better Penguin is there than Philip Seymour Hoffman.”

With these two on board along with talks of Angelina Jolie playing Catwoman, the sequel will be even more anticipated than The Dark Knight. Although there are many rumors circulating regarding who is the next villain, any one of these would make the movie another success.
