DAME Judi Dench had double cause for celebration when the Bafta nominations were unveiled today.
York-born Dame Judi is up for best actress for Iris and best supporting actress for The Shipping News, which is yet to get a UK release.
The lavish Baz Luhrmann musical Moulin Rouge led the field with 13 nominations for the awards, to be handed over on February 24, at the Odeon Leicester Square in London.
They include best film, best original screenplay and best director for Luhrmann.
Lord of the Rings was close behind with 12 nominations, but Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone managed only eight, many of which were for technical categories such as special effects.
