BAFTA Film Awards has released their nominations for 2023. Netflix’s German-language World War I drama film, All Quiet on the Western Front, takes a big lead in nominations, with 14 nominations, including Best Director, Film, and Adapted Screenplay.
Following All Quiet on the Western Front is Martin McDonagh’s latest film, The Banshees Of Inisherin, and Everything Everywhere All at Once from A2 by Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, leading with 10 nominations each.
A total of 44 feature films are up for awards this year, with first-time nominees making headlines across the board. In the performance category, 14 of the 24 nominees received their first BAFTA film nominations. Some of these contenders include Ana de Armas (Blonde), Angela Bassett (Black Panther: Wakanda Forever), Austin Butler (Elvis), Colin Farrell (Banshees of Inisherin), Brendan Fraser (The Whale), Paul Mezcal (After Sun), Ke Hoi Quan (Everything Everywhere All At Once).
This year’s nominations are relatively spread across different studios, with Netflix taking the lead with 21 nominations. But notable omissions prevented Spielberg’s latest picture, The Fabelmans, from capitalizing on the momentum at US awards, winning Golden Globes for Best Director and Best Film – Drama, as well as Best Screenplay. The Fabelmans earned a BAFTA nomination for only one prize, which was Best Screenplay.
The awards will be announced on February 19 at the 2023 BAFTA Film Awards Ceremony, which will be hosted by Richard Grant. Below are the nominations for this year’s BAFTA Awards:
