BAFTA today announced the nominations for the 2024 EE BAFTA Film Awards and to one one’s surprise Christopher Nolan’s 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. Actors Naomi Ackie and Kingsley Ben-Adir announced the nominations via a live broadcast from BAFTA 195 Piccadilly in London.
But the morning didn’t come without some stunning surprises and snubs, too. While Killers entered the nomination voting stage with 15 longlist mentions the Martin Scorsese Osage epic missed out on Director, Leading Actor for Leonardo DiCaprio, Leading Actress for Lily Gladstone and Adapted Screenplay. Gladstone recently won the Golden Globe for Lead Actress – Drama. Poor Things, right behind with 14 longlist mentions saw huge snubs for Lanthimos in Director and both Mark Ruffalo and Willem Dafoe in Supporting Actor. The two actors have been inconsistent in their precursor gets with Ruffalo showing up at Critics Choice and the Globes and Dafoe making the cut at Critics Choice and SAG.
But the biggest blow today was dealt to Greta Gerwig’s Barbie. Coming in strong with 15 longlist mentions, it left nomination morning with just five. No Best Picture or Director but still managing nods for Original Screenplay (it will compete in Adapted at the Oscars), Leading Actress for Margot Robbie and Best Supporting Actor for Ryan Gosling.
The strange case of All of Us Strangers today was a headscratcher. The ghostly gay drama managed to turn 10 longlist mentions into six nominations, a good ratio, including Best Director and Adapted Screenplay for Andrew Haigh, Best Supporting Actor for Paul Mescal and Best Supporting Actress for Claire Foy yet somehow Andrew Scott missed out on Leading Actor.
Bradley Cooper’s Maestro pulled off seven nominations this morning, the best showing for Netflix, including Director, Leading Actor and Original Screenplay for Cooper and Leading Actress for Carey Mulligan. Also coming in with seven nods were Justine Triet’s Anatomy of a Fall and Alexander Payne’s The Holdovers, both landing Best Film and Best Director nominations. Anatomy also earned a Leading Actress spot for Sandra Hüller (also nominated in Supporting Actress for The Zone of Interest) and The Holdovers grabbed three acting mentions: Paul Giamatti for Leading Actor, Supporting Actress for Da’Vine Joy Randolph and Supporting Actor for Dominic Sessa.
Emerald Fennell’s Saltburn staged a mini comeback with its five nominations, including Leading Actor for Barry Keoghan, Supporting Actress for Rosamund Pike and Supporting Actor for Jacob Elordi. The film also earned nods for Original Score and Outstanding British Film.
Two Netflix films, May December and Nyad, came up empty-handed after a smattering of Golden Globe, Critics Choice and Screen Actors Guild mentions.
11 out of 23 nominees in the performance categories have received their first BAFTA Film nomination, including Sandra Hüller (Anatomy of a Fall andThe Zone of Interest), Cillian Murphy (Oppenheimer), Fantasia Barrino and Danielle Brooks (The Color Purple), Colman Domingo (Rustin), Paul Giamatti, Da’Vine Joy Randolph and Dominic Sessa (The Holdovers), Jacob Elordi (Saltburn), Vivian Oparah (Rye Lane), and Teo Yoo (Past Lives).
“The 38 films nominated by BAFTA voters today span an extraordinary range of genres and stories. The field this year is incredibly strong. More films were entered, making the selection process particularly tough for our voting members. The films and talented people nominated represent some of the most talked about films of the year, the most critically acclaimed, and films yet to be released and discovered by audiences. With a month to go until the EE BAFTAs on 18 February, we encourage film fans everywhere to watch as many nominated films as possible and find out more about the people who make them by listening to our new official podcast, Countdown to the BAFTAs, which is available widely on podcast platforms from today,” said Jane Millichip, CEO of BAFTA.
The winners will be announced on February 18 from the Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall in London, as part of an unmissable celebration of film hosted by David Tennant.
The EE BAFTA Film Awards will be broadcast on BBC One and iPlayer in the UK, on BritBox International in USA, Canada, Denmark, Finland, Sweden, Norway and South Africa, as well as BBC Australia and Britbox in Australia, NOVA Bulgaria, NOVA Greece, Turner Spain, and Canal Plus. With more territories to be confirmed.
The EE BAFTA Film Awards voting takes place over three rounds: Longlisting, Nominations and Winners, by BAFTA’s global voting membership, comprising over 7,800 creatives and film industry practitioners. Latest demographic information on BAFTA’s membership is here.
