Tim Bevan, the producer of the Theory of Everything, which has received five Academy Award nominations says he would have "loved" to make it six.

He said it was "strange" for a film with several nominations, including Best Picture, Best Screenplay, Best Actor and Best Actress, not to be nominated for Best Director.

But he also said that it was "always a great honour to be recognised by your peers".

The British film tells the story of the relationship between physicist Stephen Hawking and his first wife Jane.
