Leading the nominations is Conclave, the religious thriller that captivated audiences and critics alike. With 12 nods, including Best Film, Best Director (Edward Berger), and Best Actor (Ralph Fiennes), it’s the frontrunner heading into the ceremony. Emilia Pérez, Jacques Audiard’s musical comedy-drama, follows closely with 11 nominations, including Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Cinematography, and Best Original Score.

Sara Putt, the chair of BAFTA, said there remains a significant journey ahead to attain gender equality within the film and television industry, as stated prior to the announcement of this week’s nominees. From musicals like Wicked and Emilia Pérez to intense dramas such as The Brutalist and Anora, the nominees showcase the creativity and craftsmanship thriving in today’s film industry.
