'King Kong' is set to sweep the board at this year's Empire awards - after receiving five nominations. After being snubbed by the Oscars, the Golden Globes and the Bafta's, the remake of the 1933 monster movie has been nominated for a host of top honours, including Best Film, Best Director and Best Actor. 'Pride and Prejudice', 'Crash', and 'Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit' also faired well with four nominations each. The Best Actor category will be a fight between Matt Dillon for his performance in 'Crash', 'Batman Begins' star Christian Bale, 'Johnny Depp' for his portrayal of Willy Wonka in 'Charlie And The Chocolate Factory' and Viggo Mortensen in the critically acclaimed 'A History Of Violence'. Similarly, the Best Actress category will be an equally tough choice between Dillon's Bafta-winning 'Crash' co-star Thandie Newton, 'Pride and Prejudice' s Keira Knightley, Renée Zellweger for her role in 'Cinderella Man', Hilary Swank for turn in 'Million Dollar Baby' and 'King Kong' star Naomi Watts.
