Meryl Streep joins Blunt and Stone in the leading actress category, where she is nominated for her role in Florence Foster Jenkins.

Amy Adams and Natalie Portman complete the best actress contenders list, having been nominated for Arrival and Jackie respectively.

The latter trio are respectively nominated for Manchester by the Sea, Nocturnal Animals and Captain Fantastic respectively.
Grant, who appears with Streep in Florence Foster Jenkins, is joined in the supporting actor category by fellow Britons Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Dev Patel.
Taylor-Johnson is nominated for his Golden Globe-winning turn in Nocturnal Animals, while Slumdog Millionaire star Patel is shortlisted for Lion.
“This Bafta nomination today truly means so much to me” said Patel in a statement. “My family is literally freaking out right now!”
“It’s always nice to feel love from your hometown,” said Taylor-Johnson, adding he was “genuinely humbled” by the “fantastic honour”.
“Can’t wait to celebrate back in good ole Blighty!” continued the 26-year-old, who is married to the British artist formerly known as Sam Taylor-Wood.
