Stars such as Rosamund Pike, Helen Mirren, Benedict Cumberbatch, David Oyelowo and Felicity Jones are among those being toasted for their performances in cinema and television; held up as evidence of a continuing demand for British actors in Hollywood.
Pike is nominated as best actress in a film drama for her role in David Fincher’s dark thriller Gone Girl. She will be up against another British actress - Felicity Jones - who plays Stephen Hawking’s first wife Jane in The Theory of Everything.
Cumberbatch and Oyelowo, who are nominated in the category of best actor in a drama for their roles in The Imitation Game and Selma respectively, are homegrown British talents: both former students at Lamda.
He is nominated alongside Cumberbatch and Oyelowo in the best actor in a drama category for playing Stephen Hawking in The Theory of Everything, opposite Jones. Also nominated in the same category are American actors Jake Gyllenhaal for Nightcrawler and Steve Carell for Foxcatcher.
