12 Years A Slave leads the London Critics' Film Awards with nine nominations.
12 Years A Slave had been tipped as a major awards contender ever since it began screening on the festival circuit this autumn.
It has been nominated for Film of the Year, Director and Screenwriter of the Year for McQueen, Best Actor for Chiwetel Ejiofor, Best Supporting Actor for Michael Fassbender and Best Supporting Actress for newcomer Lupita Nyong'o.
It is the third feature film for director Steve McQueen, after enjoying critical success with Hunger and Shame. The movie is based on the memoir of Solomon Northup, a free man who was sold into slavery.
Philomena was another movie that picked up a handful of nominations as Judi Dench given the nod in Actress of the Year and British Actress of the Year categories.
The movie was also nominated for British Film Of The Year, while Steve Coogan picked up nods for Best British Actor and Screenwriter Of The Year with Jeff Pope.
