The awards, which take place on Sunday February 10 at the Royal Albert Hall in London, are the most prestigious in the UK film calendar and are considered a pre-cursor to the Oscars.
"The Favourite" leads the list of nominations, being shortlisted in 12 categories.
The announcement comes just days after the film's star, Olivia Colman, won a Golden Globe for her performance as Queen Anne.
