Having already opened in the US over the festive period to spectacular reviews and a not inconsiderable $66m box office take, The Wolf of Wall Street is set to open in the UK on the 17th January. But, despite being a week away from general release over here, that hasn’t stopped the BAFTA voters nominating the film in four of the biggest categories.

The Wolf of Wall Street has received nominations for:

-          Director: Martin Scorsese

-          Adapted Screenplay: Terence Winter

-          Leading Actor: Leonardo DiCaprio

-          Editing: Thelma Schoonmaker

Reacting to his nomination, DiCaprio commentated:

“I am truly honoured to be nominated today by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts. These nominations reflect the determination of an extraordinary cast, crew and of course the great Marty Scorsese.”



Director Scorsese, whose films have racked up an incredible 84 BAFTA nominations over the years in all categories and who received the BAFTA Fellowship Award in 2012, reacted in similarly ebullient fashion:

“British cinema has always been very close to my heart, so it means a great deal to me to have been honoured with this nomination from BAFTA.”

However in all the Scorses/DiCaprio hoopla, we shouldn’t forget the contribution of writer Terrence Winter – Sopranos scribe and the creator of Boardwalk Empire – as well as long time Scorsese collaborator, editor Thelma Schoonmaker. In over thirty years working with Scorsese, Schoonmaker has won been nominated for 6 Oscars, winning 3 and 9 BAFTAs, winning 2 so far, with a chance to add a third in the coming weeks.
