Empire awards: Skyfall and The Hobbit nominated

Jessica Chastain, Naomi Watts and Quvenzhane Wallis are all nominated

Skyfall has received six nominations at the Empire magazine film awards, set to take place in March.

As well as a nomination in best film, the James Bond movie is also nominated in the best actor, best actress and best director categories.

Django Unchained and The Dark Knight Rises are also up for the best film.

The public are invited to choose their favourites in each of the categories, including best thriller and best actor; their votes will decide the winners.

Quvenzhane Wallis, Jessica Chastain and Naomi Watts, who missed out on Oscars, are nominated for prizes.

Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence is nominated for best actress

The winners of best supporting actress and best actress at 2012's Oscars, Anne Hathaway and Jennifer Lawrence, are both competing for the best actress award at the Empire ceremony.

Argo, which has been a big winner during awards season, has been nominated in the best thriller category, but missed out on recognition in the best film category.

Avengers Assemble and The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey have five nominations each.

Voting takes place on the Empire website ahead of the ceremony on Sunday 24 March.

In 2012 Olivia Colman won best actress for her role in Tyrannosaur while Gary Oldman picked up best actor for Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy.

Best film went to Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2.
