Young Irish actress Saoirse Ronan (13) and Daniel Day-Lewis are among the nominees for the British Academy Film Awards (Baftas).
Ronan has been nominated in the Best Supporting Actress category for her performance in 'Atonement', which has received 14 nominations.
Saoirse Ronan
The film has been nominated in the top categories Best Film and Best British Film and Keira Knightley and James McAvoy have been nominated for Leading Actress and Leading Actor.
The film is also up for Best Director for Joe Wright, Adapted Screenplay, Music, Cinematography, Editing, Production Design, Sound, Costume Design and Make-Up and Hair.
Daniel Day-Lewis has also been nominated for Leading Actor for his role in There Will Be Blood.
The Baftas could steal the limelight away from the Oscars this year because of the ongoing writers' strike, which has thrown the Academy Awards into jeopardy.
This year's Golden Globes ceremony, where Atonement won Best Film, was replaced by a short press conference and no stars turned up.
Day-Lewis will be competing in the leading actor category with Hollywood heartthrob George Clooney for 'Michael Clayton', Viggo Mortensen 'Eastern Promises' and Ulrich Muhe in the 'Lives Of Others'.
