Daniel Craig leads BAFTA nominations

Bond star up for Best Actor

Daniel Craig, 38, has received a Best Actor nomination for his performance as James Bond.

He faces competition from Leonardo DiCaprio for The Departed, Richard Griffiths for The History Boys, Forest Whitaker for The Last King Of Scotland and veteran star Peter O'Toole for Venus.

Daniel's debut 007 film, Casino Royale, has been nominated in nine categories, including outstanding British film of the year.

But The Queen tops the list with 10 nominations and is hotly tipped for Best Film. Its star, Dame Helen Mirren, is also a favourite for the Best Actress prize.

The other nominees are Dame Judi Dench for Notes On A Scandal, Kate Winslet for Little Children, Penelope Cruz for Volver and Meryl Streep for The Devil Wears Prada.

The awards ceremony will take place on 11 February at The Royal Opera House.
