“Oppenheimer” Leads the Race with 13 Nominations
Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” has emerged as a front-runner in the 2024 BAFTA Film Awards, securing 13 nominations. This success marks the film as Nolan’s most nominated in the U.K., adding a significant feather to its cap, given its box office success. Notable nominations include best film, director, leading actor for Cillian Murphy, and supporting roles for Emily Blunt and Robert Downey Jr.
Yorgos Lanthimos’ “Poor Things” Follows Closely
Yorgos Lanthimos’ unique steampunk black comedy “Poor Things” isn’t far behind, garnering 11 nominations. These include best film and a best actress nod for Emma Stone, showcasing the film’s wide-ranging appeal.
“Barbie”: A Notable Snub
Despite the hype surrounding Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie,” the film received a surprising snub in several categories. With 15 Longlist slots, it only secured five nominations, missing out on best film and director categories. Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling earned nominations for their roles, but the film’s limited recognition has raised eyebrows in the industry.
Other Key Nominations and Snubs
“Killers of the Flower Moon” and “The Zone of Interest” each received nine nominations. However, notable exclusions include Martin Scorsese for director and Lily Gladstone for leading actress in “Killers of the Flower Moon.” Jonathan Glazer’s “The Zone of Interest” maintained a strong presence, with Sandra Huller receiving dual nominations.
French film “Anatomy of a Fall,” directed by Justine Triet, impressively secured seven nominations, the most for a French film since “The Artist” in 2012. “The Holdovers” and “Maestro” also stood out with seven nominations each.
Conversely, films like “American Fiction,” “Ferrari,” and “May December” faced significant snubs, despite their critical acclaim and early predictions.
Industry Impact
Disney leads the pack with 22 nominations, thanks to “Poor Things” and “All of Us Strangers.” Film4 has also had a remarkable year, with 30 nominations across various films, marking its most successful BAFTA outing in over 40 years.
Upcoming BAFTA Ceremony
The BAFTA Film Awards ceremony is scheduled for February 18 at London’s Royal Festival Hall, hosted by “Doctor Who” star David Tennant, promising a night of excitement and potential surprises.
