    'Drive' leads the list of nominations for the Jameson Empire Awards

    The Nicolas Winding-Refn-directed thriller – starring Ryan Gosling as a stunt driver who lands himself in trouble – and 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2' are both up for five awards at the prestigious film event, in categories including Best Film, Best Director and Best Actor.


    'Rise of the Planet of the Apes', 'Attack the Block', 'Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy' and 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo' all received four nominations each.

    Despite being considered more of a fan-geared event, Meryl Streep is continuing with her success at the Oscars by gaining a nod for her appearance as British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher in 'The Iron Lady'.

    She will go up against Olivia Colman for 'Tyrannosaur', Rooney Mara in 'Girl with the Dragon Tattoo', Carey Mulligan for her part in 'Drive' and Michelle Williams from 'My Week with Marilyn'.

    Gary Oldman, who was nominated for an Oscar for his role in 'Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy' but lost out to Jean Dujardin, has been nominated in the Best Actor category.

    Fans who want to vote for their favourites should head to www.empireonline.com/awards2012/.

    'Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy' Rebecca Ferguson wants to record with David Guetta.

    The 'Nothing's Real but Love' singer is a big fan of dance music, and would one day love to collaborate with the French producer on a track.

    She said: "I've been a fan of his since back in the day. I love the song 'Titanium'.

    "There will be a time for me to do dance music, but not now. But I would love to do vocals on a dance tune so maybe I should give David a call soon."

    While she isn't ready to change musical directions just yet, Rebecca has been working on dance tracks for other artists.

    She added to the Daily Star newspaper: "I like dance music a lot. I think I've got a dance album in me.

    "I've just been sent some songs by [record company] EMI that they want me to work on. So I'm writing some dance music on the road - but not for me, for other artists."

    The 25-year-old star is hoping her latest single, 'Too Good To Lose', shows fans a side to her music which is different to what they would normally associate with her.

    She added: "I wanted to show a different side of my personality with the song.

    "It's definitely got a different vibe to the big soul ballad people associate me with."
