Formerly known as the BAFTA Scotland Awards, the nominations for this year’s British Academy Scotland Awards 2012 have been announced, with the ever-brilliant Edith Bowman officially set to host the awards ceremony next month.

Leading the pack with four nominations to its name is Ken Loach’s The Angel’s Share, which took home the Jury Prize at Cannes earlier this year.

Following closely behind with two nominations each are Kevin Bridges and Zam Salim, the latter nominated in both the Best Director and Best Feature Film categories for the forthcoming, Up There, which will be released on 16th November in the UK.

The Scotland-born Bowman has a wealth of experience that makes her a perfect fit for the awards, having presented pretty much every major music festival the UK has to offer through her career, along with hosting the Q Awards back in 2005 on BBC Radio 1.

“I am delighted to have been asked to host the British Academy Scotland Awards 2012. The event is a brilliant showcase of the moving image industries and highlights the wealth of talent here in Scotland.

Over the past year, Scotland has cemented its reputation as a leading player in film, TV and game production. So much fantastic work has been produced and I’m very excited to see who wins from the list of nominees.”

The British Academy Scotland Awards will be held on Sunday, 18th November, and we’ll be bringing the results when they’re announced on the night. For now, here is the full list of the thirty-six nominees, with three in each of the twelve categories.
