Bonham Carter will join fellow nominee David Yates, the filmmaker of her latest movie Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, who will receive the John Schlesinger Britannia Award for Excellence in Directing.

Director and animator John Lasseter will also be honored for Worldwide Contributions to Filmed Entertainment.

The Britannia Awards will take place on November 30th at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.
