La La Land leads the 2017 BAFTA nominations with a whopping 11 nods... as Emma Stone competes against leading ladies Meryl Streep and Natalie Portman for Best Actress

• e-mail

Nominations for the 2017 BAFTAs see La La Land recognised in a whopping 11 categories, this year.

Amy Adams' two films Nocturnal Animals and Arrival are the closest competitors with nine apiece, and she will face her own battle in the category for Leading Actress for the latter, against Emily Blunt, Meryl Streep and Natalie Portman.

But it's La La Land's high-commended stars Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling that head up the Leading Actress and Leading Actor categories, following their Golden Globe awards triumph, this weekend.

Ruling the roost: La La Land leads this year's EE British Academy Film Awards

Hosted by Stephen Fry, this year's EE British Academy Film Awards will take place on Sunday 12 February at the Royal Albert Hall in London. 

Game Of Thrones actress Sophie Turner, along with fellow actor Dominic Cooper, jetted straight in from Los Angeles' Golden Globe awards to make the BAFTA announcement at 195 Piccadilly in London on Tuesday morning.

Though La La Land continues to be the success story of awards season, Best Film nods also go to Arrival, I, Daniel Blake, Manchester By The Sea and Moonlight.  

While Manchester By The Sea receives more nods overall, I, Daniel Blake scooped the highest prize at last year's Cannes Film Festival, the prestigious Palme d'Or.

In the Leading Actor category, Ryan could still be beaten by Casey Affleck, Jake Gyllenhaal, Andrew Garfield and Viggo Mortensen.

This weekend, Andrew was responsible for one of the most notably moments of the Golden Globes, when he was beaten to the award by Ryan and sought consolation in Ryan Reynolds with a kiss.

A perfect portrayal: Natalie Portman's part in Jackie sees her compete for Leading Actress

Notably, the actor who will supersede Andrew Garfield as Spiderman in 2017, Tom Holland, is also put forward in the EE Rising Star award, this year.

The males recognised in the Best Supporting Actor category this year include, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Dev Patel, Jeff Bridges and Mahershala Ali.

Largely considered the breakout performance of the year, Mahershala's snub at this weekend's Golden Globes sparked an outcry from fans of his film Moonlight.

Can she do it again? After the success of this weekend's Golden Globes, can Emma Stone do it again?

Taking a stand: Meryl made headlines for a lot of different reason this weekend, when she made a speech about Donald Trump

The one to beat: But Ryan Gosling is the one to beat in the Best Actor department, following his Golden Globe this weekend

In the same category, Hugh Grant also follows Meryl's lead with a nod for their film Florence Foster Jenkins, in which he plays St Clair Bayfield, the man tasked with helping a New York heiress to realise her dreams of becoming an opera singer.

Just like Dev is recognised for the film Lion, a Best Supporting Actress nod goes to his co-star Nicole Kidman. 

Lion is a film about a five-year-old Indian boy who gets lost on the streets of Calcutta. 

He is adopted by a couple in Australia; 25 years later and sets out to find his long-lost family.

Best Film? Arrival also received nine nods in the BAFTA nominations, while actress Amy Adams could be made Leading Actress

Putting up a fight: Andrew Garfield will take on Ryan Gosling again, for Best Actor in Hackshaw Ridge

Strong competition: Michelle Williams has been put forward for her part in Manchester By The Sea

Nicole faces competition in the category from Michelle Williams and Viola Davies as well as British stars Hayley Squires and Naomie Harris.

In the Original Screenplay category, Hell Or High Water, I, Daniel Blake, La La Land, Manchester By The Sea and Moonlight are nominated. 

This year's EE Rising Star award nominations - announced last week and voted for by the public - go to Laia Costa, Lucas Hedges, Ruth Negga and Anya Taylor-Joy. 

Making the announcement: The announcement was made in London on Tuesday morning, by Game Of Thrones actress Sophie Turner

An honour: Sophie and fellow actor Dominic Cooper returned from the Golden Globes for the duty

Last year, it was won by John Boyega for his part in Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens. 

Adapted Screenplay recognises Arrival, Hacksaw Ridge, Hidden Figures, Lion and Nocturnal Animals.  

With that, Nocturnal Animals' director Tom Ford receives his first ever BAFTA nomination in the category of Best Director.

Originally a fashion designer previously serving as creative director at Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent, Tom has his own eponymous label.

Powerful drama: Dev Patel gets a nod for his part in Lion

Gripping: Nicole Kidman put in a noteworthy performance in Lion, too

The film, which stars BAFTA-nominated Jake and Aaron, is about a wealthy art gallery owner who is haunted by her ex-husband's violent thriller novel, which she interprets as a symbolic revenge tale.

While she is recognised for her part in Arrival, leading actress Amy Adams was not put forward for her role in Tom Ford's film. 

His 2009 film, A Single Man, was Oscar-nominated, while the actor Colin Firth previously took the BAFTA for the same film that year. 

However Tom's will be a tough category to triumph in, thanks to La La Land's Damien Chazelle as well as fellow nominees Denis Villeneuve, Ken Loach and Kenneth Lonergan.

Nominated: Ruth Negga receives her first EVER nomination in the EE Rising Stars category

Snubbed: Tom Hanks and his work in the film Sully were not put forward for a BAFTA

American Honey, Denial, Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them, I, Daniel Blake and Under The Shadow all compete for Outstanding British Film.

Winners are chosen by Bafta's 6,500 members, except for the EE Rising Star Award, which is voted for by the public.

The nominations list was a triumph for BBC Films, whose projects received 10 nominations overall. 

I, Daniel Blake received five nominations, Florence Foster Jenkins received four and Denial received one.  

But Hollywood's big flick La La Land will be the one to watch this year, if its string of success is anything to go by. 

It will rule the roost: This weekend, La La Land won a record-breaking seven Golden Globes

According to Betfair, the odds are on for the Best Film (1/4 hot favourite), Best Director (1/8) and Leading Actress categories (8/13).

However, Casey Affleck has a 1/4 chance of beating Ryan Gosling, who is 4/1, to the Lead Actor BAFTA. 

At the weekend, the film swept the Golden Globe Awards with a record-breaking seven awards for Best Original Score Motion Picture, Best Original Song Motion Picture categories, Best Screenplay Motion Picture and Best Director Motion Picture.

The two leading stars each accepted the Best Performance by an Actor and Actress in a Motion Picture Musical or Comedy while the musical as a whole took the Best Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy award for a clean sweep of seven gongs. 

It follows their success at this year's Critics' Choice Awards, in which it won eight of the 12 awards that it was put forward for. 

The big hitters: Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling follow up their Golden Globe awards this weekend with nods for Best Actor and Best Actress at this year's Baftas
