Hide AdRedmayne’s portrayal of Stephen Hawking has already won him a Golden Globe and he will be among the favourites to win the Oscar statuette.


The other nominees are Steve Carell and Bradley Cooper.
Jones, who played Professor Hawking’s wife in the film, and Gone Girl star Pike face competition from Reece Witherspoon, Julianne Moore and Marion Cotillard.
Keira Knightley, who stars alongside Cumberbatch in The Imitation Game, is nominated for the best supporting actress award alongside Oscars veteran Meryl Streep.
The film, based on the life of pioneering scientist and code-breaker Alan Turing, is also nominated for best picture along with The Theory Of Everything, American Sniper, Birdman, Boyhood, The Grand Budapest Hotel, Selma, The Theory Of Everything and Whiplash.

Hide AdThe early odds suggest Redmayne faces competition from Keaton in the race to be named Best Actor.
The US star is 4-5 to win, just marginally ahead of Redmayne at 10-11, according to bookmaker William Hill.
The firm’s spokesman, Rupert Adams, said: “The betting suggests that five of the six major awards have nailed-on winners, whilst the Best Actor betting suggests a High Noon-style mano a mano between Eddie Redmayne and Michael Keaton, either of whom could draw first.”
Among those who were tipped for a nomination but missed out were actors Ralph Fiennes and David Oyewelo, both critically acclaimed for their work in The Grand Budapest Hotel and Selma respectively, and Nick Hornby whose work on the screenplay of Wild went unrecognised.
