The Imitation Game Leads Empire Awards Nominations With Six Nods

Benedict Cumberbatch may have lost out to Eddie Redmayne at the Oscars on Sunday night, but the British pair will be facing off again for the best actor prize at the Jameson Empire Awards.

And this time you can help decide which one of them is more deserving of the gong, because all the awards are voted for by the public online.

Coming toward the end of awards season on 29 March, it could be a big night for The Imitation Game since the historical drama is leading the nominations with six nods.

And Kingsman: The Secret Service, Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes and The Hobbit: The Battle Of The Five Armies all have four apiece.

Benny and Eddie will be contesting the best actor award with Andy Serkis, Richard Armitage and Bradley Cooper.

While the best actress nominees are Emily Blunt, Felicity Jones, Keira Knightley, Rosamund Pike and Alicia Vikander.
