Accolades for FINDING NEVERLAND are not quite over–on March 7th, the nominees for the Sony Ericsson Empire Awards were announced, and the J. M. Barrie biopic snagged another pair of nominations. Johnny Depp received a Best Actor nod for his performance as J. M. Barrie; other nominees include Tobey Maguire for SPIDER-MAN 2, Tom Cruise for COLLATERAL, Matt Damon for THE BOURNE SUPREMACY, and Jim Carrey for ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND. Freddie Highmore received a nomination as Best Newcomer for his performance as Peter Llewelyn-Davies, and co-star Kate Winslet earned a Best Actress nod for her role as Clementine in ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND. Congratulations to all! The winners will be announced at an awards ceremony in London’s Guildhall on Sunday, March 13th–no lengthy awards campaign here, thank goodness!
