The BAFTA Film Awards are the British equivalent of the Oscars, and their list of this year’s nominees is one for the books! Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer is leading the way with 13 nominations, but it’s closely followed by Yorgos Lanthimos’ Poor Things with 11.
Both Oppenheimer and Poor Things emerged as major contenders for the night’s main award – best film – along with Anatomy of a Fall, The Holdovers, and Killers of the Flower Moon. Poor Things has also been nominated for the best British film, but it will have to face tough competition from the likes of All of Us Strangers, Saltburn, Wonka, and The Zone of Interest.
Oppenheimer also scored three acting nods thanks to its stars Cillian Murphy, Emily Blunt, and Robert Downey Jr. Christopher Nolan is in the running for the best director alongside Andrew Haigh (All of Us Strangers), Justine Triet (Anatomy of a Fall), Alexander Payne (The Holdovers), Bradley Cooper (Maestro), and Jonathan Glazer (The Zone of Interest).
As for Poor Things, this film is in the running for the best lead actress (Emma Stone), and best adapted screenplay (Tony McNamara), but it scored most of its nominations in technical fields, such as cinematography, costume design, and editing.
The 2024 BAFTA Awards winners will be announced on February 18 at the Royal Festival Hall in London, with David Tennant hosting the festivities.
