Brave, the Pixar film featuring a host of Scottish actors' voices, has today been nominated in the best animated film category of the Baftas.
The movie, which has been hailed for its benefit for Scottish tourism, is also tipped to be mentioned in the Oscars nominee list, which will be unveiled tomorrow.
Set in the Highlands, Brave follows the heroic journey of Merida, voiced by Kelly Macdonald. Other actors involved include Billy Connolly, Emma Thompson, Kevin McKidd, Craig Ferguson and Robbie Coltrane.
In the Baftas, Spielberg's Lincoln leads the field with 10 nominations, with nine each for Les Miserables and Life Of Pi.
Glasgow-based film maker Johnny Barrington was also nominated for a Bafta in the Short Film category, for his film Tumult.
