Knightley tipped to get Oscar nod
Knightley plays Elizabeth Bennett in the film of Jane Austen's novel
British actresses Keira Knightley and Dame Judi Dench will be nominated for Academy Awards next year, a leading US film magazine has predicted.
Knightley will be up for best actress for her role in Pride and Prejudice, Premiere monthly has claimed.
Dench, meanwhile, will be recognised for her performance in Mrs Henderson Presents, according to the magazine's early list of Oscar predictions.
The nominations for the 2006 Academy Awards will be announced on 31 January.
Other British actors Premiere expects to make the cut include The Constant Gardener co-stars Ralph Fiennes and Rachel Weisz, the latter in the best supporting actress category.
Charlize Theron, who was named best actress in 2004 for Monster, is tipped to land another nomination for her role as a miner facing sexual harassment in North Country.
'Dark horses'
The Wallace and Gromit film Curse of the Were-Rabbit is seen as a frontrunner in the best animated feature category.
In Mrs Henderson Presents Dench plays a widow turned theatre owner
Johnny Cash biopic Walk The Line will figure prominently, it claims, with nominations for best picture, director James Mangold and its stars Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon.
The magazine has named Ang Lee's gay cowboy drama Brokeback Mountain, Steven Spielberg's Munich, George Clooney's Good Night, and Good Luck and Memoirs of a Geisha as the other likeliest best picture nominees. Peter Jackson's King Kong remake and the film version of the Producers musical are among several upcoming titles considered "dark horses". Last year Premiere predicted four of the five best picture nominees correctly.
