There was some welcome diversity in the acting longlists of early nominations for Viola Davis The queen of womenMichelle Yeoh for Everything everywhere at onceand Daniel Kaluuya no. The BAFTA’s acting names have been the subject of controversy in the recent past due to a lack of racial diversity. In 2021, all 20 current BAFTA nominees were white. As the season progresses, eyes will be on whether this diversity is reflected in the final shortlist. In recent years, there has also been concern about the lack of female directors in the final category of best director. However, in this long list, there are eight women in the running to direct.
