Grand Budapest Hotel Leads The 2015 BAFTA Nominations
The 2015 BAFTA nominations were announced on Friday, where Wes Anderson's Grand Budapest Hotel established itself as a leading contender. The film received a total of 11 nominations  more than any other film  including nods in the Best Film, Best Director and Leading Actor for Ralph Fiennes categories.
