Update for latest…: It’s BAFTA Sunday here in London and the annual BAFTA Film Awards ceremony is fast approaching at the Royal Festival Hall on an incredibly lavish night. Richard E. Grant is hosting the ceremony tonight, taking over from last year’s emcee Rebel Wilson, and we’ll be updating the list of winners live, so check back often for updates.
Rising to the occasion, Netflix’s No news from the western front leads nominations with 14 including outstanding film, director and adapted screenplay. The German language drama of the First World War is linked to that of Ang Lee Crouching tiger hidden dragon for the most nominations for a non-English language film in BAFTA history. As the Edward Berger-led version is priced, it will face stiff competition.
With 10 nominations each, Martin McDonagh’s dark comedy from Searchlight, The Banshees by Inisherin and A24’s awards-season darling Everything, everywhere, all at once by Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, who received the highest award from the DGA on Saturday night.
McDonagh was last at BAFTA Three billboards outside Ebbing Missouri which won five awards in 2018, including Best Picture and Best British Film. UK, USA, Irish Banshees has a lot of love here and should not be counted out despite the momentum Everything everywhere.
This is Charlotte Wells’s After sun has heat – it’s about outstanding British film, debut, lead actor (Paul Mescal) and cast.
Warner Bros./Village Roadshow elvis picked up nine nominations, including film, cinematography and lead actor for Austin Butler. Baz Luhrmann did not fall into the director category.
The BAFTAs are another Oscar preview that could give us a clearer indication of what’s in store at Dolby on March 12, but the organization’s membership has deviated significantly from AMPAS in their nominations and left The queen of womens Viola Davis and To‘s Danielle Deadwyler a spot in lead actress when she was almost ruled out Avatar: the way of water And The Fables.
The BAFTAs will be broadcast an hour late in the UK and US, so check back later for the winners as we update live below.
