Box office behemoth The Dark Knight is the favourite to emerge victorious at the 14th annual Empire awards, after the nominations were announced.
Christopher Nolan’s Batman Begins sequel – which won two Oscars last weekend – has four nominations for the film magazine’s awards, sponsored by Jameson.
The best newcomer award, meanwhile, will be contested between Twilight star Robert Pattinson, St Trinian’s actress Gemma Arterton, Across the Universe‘s Jim Sturgess, RocknRolla actor Toby Kebbell and Brideshead Revisited cast member Hayley Attwell.
“These nominations, unlike those of other awards shows, truly reflect the power and diversity of cinema,” said Empire editor Mark Dinning.
Furthermore, Gemma’s films RocknRolla and Quantum of Solace are also nominated for various awards.
