The escalating “One Battle After Another” and “Sinners” duel is heading to the U.K., with the two films — both from Warner Bros. — emerging atop the pack of BAFTA Film Award nominees.
Following Tuesday’s announcement, Paul Thomas Anderson’s political satire leads the way with 14 nominations overall, just two shy of the record set by “Gandhi” and leveling with “All Quiet on the Western Front,” “Atonement,” “The King’s Speech” and “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.”
Ryan Coogler’s historical horror, meanwhile, has 13 nominations, the highest for any film by a Black director in BAFTA history. The film gives Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan their first trip to BAFTAs as nominees.
Just below, “Hamnet” and “Marty Supreme” both came away with 11 nominations, with Timotheé Chalamet returning to BAFTA’s leading actor race for a second year in a row. While “Hamnet” may be flying the flag for the U.K., Chloe Zhao’s film now also has the highest number of BAFTA nominations from a female director (Zhao, it should be noted, is the only woman to land a director nomination this year).
“One Battle After Another,” “Sinners,” “Hamnet” and “Marty Supreme” are all in the five-strong best film category, alongside “Sentimental Value” (which also gives Stellan Skarsgard his very first BAFTA nominations at the age of 74).
So far, so slightly predictable, perhaps. The top four nominated films were the same top four films following the first round of BAFTA voting. But further down, there are a few selections likely to further delight the British industry beyond the success “Hamnet.”
Local indie titles “I Swear,” “Pillion” and “The Ballad of Wallis Island” made good on their promising showings at the longlist stage, muscling their way out of the outstanding British film category into other key awards — including leading actor in the case of “I Swear” star Robert Aramayo (also pulling double duty as a Rising Star nominee). All three films made it into the screenplay categories.
There was plenty of love too for other homegrown stars, including Paul Mescal and Emily Watson from “Hamnet,” Wunmi Mosaku from “Sinners” and Carey Mulligan from “Wallis Island.”
As for the snubs, “Frankenstein” landed an excellent eight nominations but didn’t make best film or director, while “Wicked: For Good” scored two for costume and makeup & hair (but still two more than the Oscars).
The BAFTA Film Awards take place on Feb. 22 at London’s Royal Festival Hall, with Alan Cumming on hosting duties.
