Kate penned: ‘BAFTA! Thank you! I am so honored to be nominated ❤️ England has always been a real home for me and my family so this nomination feels like a love letter back to a place that’s given us so much. See you soon London Town.’
Alongside, the How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days star posted a slew of throwback snaps of her children exploring the capital.
Kate is mum to son Ryder, 21, with ex-husband and Black Crowes frontman Chris Robinson, son Bingham, 14, with ex-fiance and Muse singer Matt Bellamy, and daughter Rani, seven, with her current fiance Danny Fujikawa.
It marks her second BAFTA nod, coming 25 years after she was first nominated for her performance as Penny Lane in Almost Famous.
This year Kate is facing off in a formidable category including frontrunner Jessie Buckley as William Shakespeare’s wife in Chloe Zhao’s biopic Hamnet.
Her competition is rounded out by Rose Byrne in If I Had Legs I’d Kick You, Chase Infiniti in One Battle After Another, Emma Stone in Bugonia and Renate Reinsve in Sentimental Value.
And it comes just days after it was announced that she is also up for the Academy Award for Best Actress, where she will once again be competing against Jessie, Rose, Renate and Emma.
