The 2023 BAFTA Film Awards nominations have been announced. scroll down for the full list.
Leading the way this year is Netflix’s German-language World War II drama All Quiet on the Western Front with 14 nominations, including nominations for Best Picture, Best Director and Adapted Screenplay. All Quiet’s haul equals Ang Lee’s Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon’s previous record for most nominations for a non-English language film in BAFTA history. All Quiet has also received the most BAFTA nominations for a single film since The King’s Speech in 2011, with 14.
Martin McDonagh’s latest tragic comedy The Banshees Of Inisherin and A24’s Everything Everywhere All at Once, as well as Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert each follow 10 names.
Other leading films include Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis, which received nine nominations including Best Picture and Best Cinematography for Mandy Walker. Tár has five nods including Best Actress for Cate Blanchett. Aftersun, The Batman, Good Luck to You, Leo Grande, Top Gun: Maverick and The Whale earned all four nominations.
This year’s nomination list is fresher and more forward-thinking than previous years. In a year that saw new films from established favorites like Steven Spielberg, James Cameron, and Alejandro González Iñárritu, not many people would have predicted that “All Quiet on the Western Front” and “Everything Everywhere All at Once” would be at the top would.
There are a total of 44 feature films to choose from this year, and first-time nominees are heavily represented across the board. In the performance categories, 14 of the 24 nominees received their first BAFTA film nominations. These nominees include 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 at once).
Similarly, in the Best Director category, four of the six first-time nominees are 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).
This year’s nominations are relatively spread across studios, with Netflix leading the way with 21 nominations. However, with notable omissions, Spielberg’s latest picture, The Fabelmans, failed to capitalize on its momentum at US awards, having won the Golden Globes for Best Director and Best Motion Picture – Drama and only garnered a BAFTA nomination for Best Screenplay. Iñárritus Bardo is completely absent from the nominations after being longlisted for Best Non-English Language Film.
In Notable Acting Notes, Ana de Armas snagged a leading lady for her role in Blonde, the film’s only nomination, and Brendan Fraser secured a Leading Actor nomination for The Whale. This year, the big advantage in the performance categories is how diverse the nominations are. In Leading Actress, Viola Davis earned her fourth BAFTA nomination for The Woman King, newcomer Danielle Deadwyler joins for Till, and Michelle Yeoh earned her first BAFTA nomination in 22 years since Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon for Everything Everywhere All At Once. Elsewhere, Michael Ward is nominated for Supporting Actor for Empire of Light, Angela Bassett for Supporting Actor for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, and Daryl McCormack for Lead Actor for Good Luck to You, Leo Grande.
In the past, the BAFTA’s acting names have been a subject of controversy due to a lack of racial diversity. In 2021, all 20 incumbent BAFTA nominees were white. In recent years there have also been concerns about the presence of female directors in the Best Director category. This year, Gina Prince-Bythewood earns her first BAFTA nomination for The Woman King.
Over the past three years, BAFTA has made major structural changes, including expanding its membership, introducing a long-list system to increase viewership of all submitted films, and expanding the Actor and Best Director categories. . who will have shaped these nominations.
Winners will be announced at the 2023 BAFTA Film Awards ceremony hosted by actor Richard E. Grant on February 19 at the Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall in London.
