The actor received the nod for his role in the Ian Dury biopic Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll.
According to The Mirror, he described himself as "just totally blown away" and added that he had loved working on the movie.
He said: "The whole experience of making this film with such amazingly talented, articulate, honest people has been a joy, and to get this nomination is not only a great thrill for all of us involved, but a fitting tribute at a time that we mark the ten-year anniversary of the passing of the magnificent man himself, the unique Ian Dury."
Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll was also nominated for the 'Best Music' award.
