Its 13-year-old star, Irish schoolgirl Saoirse Ronan, is in the running for the title of best supporting actress.

But there was disappointment for one of the film's stars Keira Knightley, who missed out on a best actress nomination.

Veteran Julie Christie is shortlisted for her role as an Alzheimer's sufferer in Away From Her.

Daniel Day-Lewis picked up a best actor nomination for There Will Be Blood.

The other best picture contenders are legal thriller Michael Clayton, the Coen brothers' drama No Country For Old Men, Texan oil epic There Will Be Blood and teen pregnancy saga Juno.

Heavyweight offerings There Will Be Blood and No Country For Old Men lead the pack with eight nominations each.

Atonement's seven nominations are for best picture, best supporting actress, art direction, cinematography, costume design, music and adapted screenplay.

Christie will compete for the best actress crown with Cate Blanchett for Elizabeth: The Golden Age, Marion Cotillard for La Vie En Rose, Laura Linney for The Savages and Ellen Page for Juno.

Day-Lewis, whose role as a turn-of-the-20th-century oil baron earned him a Golden Globe earlier this month, will go head to head in the best actor stakes with Johnny Depp for Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street, Tommy Lee Jones for In The Valley Of Elah, Viggo Mortensen for Eastern Promises and George Clooney for Michael Clayton.
