Nominations for the 75th British Academy Film Awards have been announced, with Dune emerging as the leader of the pack with 11 nominations.
Following on from Dune, which was part filmed in Abu Dhabi, is Benedict Cumberbatch-starrer, The Power of the Dog with eight Bafta nominations and Kenneth Branagh’s Belfast with six.
There were a few surprise additions and absentees on the list of nominees.
Kristen Stewart’s Princess Diana drama Spencer was snubbed entirely, as was Tick Tick … Boom!, which landed Andrew Garfield a Best Actor Golden Globe last month.
In the Leading Actress category, there was the surprise omission of both Olivia Colman for The Lost Daughter and Nicole Kidman for Being the Ricardos.
A surprise success came in After Love, which received four nominations for Outstanding British Film, Outstanding Debut by a British Writer, Director or Producer as well as a nod for Director, Aleem Khan, and the Leading Actress, Joanna Scanlan.
The film tells the story of Mary Hussain, a white convert to Islam who lives in the British coastal town of Dover. After her husband's unexpected death, she finds that he has a secret hidden across the English Channel in Calais, France.

What is a calorie?
A food calorie, or kilocalorie, is a measure of nutritional energy generated from what is consumed.
One calorie, is the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of 1 kilogram of water by 1°C.
A kilocalorie represents a 1,000 true calories of energy.
Energy density figures are often quoted as calories per serving, with one gram of fat in food containing nine calories, and a gram of protein or carbohydrate providing about four.
Alcohol contains about seven calories a gram.

French business
France has organised a delegation of leading businesses to travel to Syria. The group was led by French shipping giant CMA CGM, which struck a 30-year contract in May with the Syrian government to develop and run Latakia port. Also present were water and waste management company Suez, defence multinational Thales, and Ellipse Group, which is currently looking into rehabilitating Syrian hospitals.
Find the right policy for you
Don’t wait until the week you fly to sign up for insurance – get it when you book your trip. Insurance covers you for cancellation and anything else that can go wrong before you leave.
Some insurers, such as World Nomads, allow you to book once you are travelling – but, as Mr Mohammed found out, pre-existing medical conditions are not covered.
Check your credit card before booking insurance to see if you have any travel insurance as a benefit – most UAE banks, such as Emirates NBD, First Abu Dhabi Bank and Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank, have cards that throw in insurance as part of their package. But read the fine print – they may only cover emergencies while you’re travelling, not cancellation before a trip.
Pre-existing medical conditions such as a heart condition, diabetes, epilepsy and even asthma may not be included as standard. Again, check the terms, exclusions and limitations of any insurance carefully.
If you want trip cancellation or curtailment, baggage loss or delay covered, you may need a higher-grade plan, says Ambareen Musa of Souqalmal.com. Decide how much coverage you need for emergency medical expenses or personal liability. Premium insurance packages give up to $1 million (Dh3.7m) in each category, Ms Musa adds.
Don’t wait for days to call your insurer if you need to make a claim. You may be required to notify them within 72 hours. Gather together all receipts, emails and reports to prove that you paid for something, that you didn’t use it and that you did not get reimbursed.
Finally, consider optional extras you may need, says Sarah Pickford of Travel Counsellors, such as a winter sports holiday. Also ensure all individuals can travel independently on that cover, she adds. And remember: “Cheap isn’t necessarily best.”
