Netflix leads the distributor pack with 21 nominations at the EE BAFTA Film Awards, which were revealed on Thursday.
The streamer scored 14 nods for All Quiet on the Western Front, tying with Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon as the most-nominated non-English language film in the awards’ history. The Netflix WWI drama — which also dominated the Oscar shortlists — is up for best picture as well as film not in the English language, director, adapted screenplay, supporting actor, original score, casting, cinematography, editing, production design, costume design, make-up and hair, sound and special visual effects.
1982’s Gandhi is the most nominated film at the BAFTAs with 16 nods and today All Quiet ties with 2007’s Atonement and 2010’s The King’s Speech, both of which also had 14.
Then there were three for Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio and one each for Blonde, The Swimmers, The Good Nurse and The Wonder.
Searchlight and A24 were not far behind with 14 nominations each. A24 has 10 nods for Everything Everywhere All At Once and four for The Whale, while Searchlight has 10 for The Banshees of Inisherin, three for Empire of Light and one for See How They Run.
Close behind Searchlight and A24 are Warner Bros with 13 nominations, including nine for Elvis and four for The Batman.
Focus Features has seven, five for Tár and one each for Brian and Charles and Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris. Paramount also has seven, four for Top Gun: Maverick, which missed out on Picture, Director, Actor and Adapted Screenplay, and three for Babylon.
MUBI has six, four for Aftersun and two for Decision to Leave, as does Universal, including two for She Said and one each for Marcel the Shell with Shoes On, Moonage Daydream, Puss in Boots: The Last Wish and Till.
Disney has five nominations, two for Avatar: The Way of Water and one each for Amsterdam, Turning Red and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.
Steven Spielberg’s semi-autobiographical family drama The Fabelmans pulled in just a single BAFTA nomination, for original screenplay, despite being longlisted across five categories, including best film. Meanwhile, Sarah Polley’s Women Talking was shut out entirely of the BAFTAs, even though the film was longlisted in the director, adapted screenplay, supporting actor and original score categories.
BAFTA’s nominations for performance and director categories are comprised of jury votes as well as votes from members. For the 2023 awards, there is a 3/3 equal split between voting-based nominees and jury-based nominees in each performance category, while the directing category includes two vote-based nominees and four jury-based nominees. The org does not reveal which nominees are a result of jury involvement and which are based on votes.
14 of the 24 nominees in the performance categories received their first BAFTA Film nomination today: Ana De Armas (Blonde), Angela Bassett (Black Panther: Wakanda Forever), Austin Butler (Elvis), Colin Farrell (The Banshees of Inisherin), Brendan Fraser (The Whale); Paul Mescal (Aftersun) and Ke Huy Quan (Everything Everywhere All At Once).
In the best director category, four of the six are first-time director nominees: Gina Prince-Bythewood (The Woman King); Todd Field (TÁR), Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert (Everything Everywhere All At Once) and Edward Berger (All Quiet on the Western Front).
Actors Hayley Atwell and Toheeb Jimoh announced the nominations via a live broadcast from BAFTA’s London headquarters on Thursday morning.
