Oppenheimer rose to the top with 13 nominations (although somehow missing Casting), followed closely by Yorgos Lanthimos’ Poor Things with 11 and Killers of the Flower Moon and The Zone of Interest with nine apiece.

It is a joy to bring these 38 remarkable films and the teams that made them to public attention. With host David Tennant bringing his charm and charisma to the ceremony, and performances from Sophie Ellis-Bextor and Hannah Waddingham, it promises to be an entertaining show for all our nominees and guests at the Royal Festival Hall and the millions of people watching at home around the world,” said Emma Baehr, Executive Director of Awards & Content.
