The 2025 BAFTA nominations have been revealed, with some exciting new titles making the cut. All We Imagine As Light, Monkey Man, and Santosh have earned recognition, while Conclave and Emilia Pérez lead the pack with the most nominations.
Due to the wildfires in Los Angeles, several major U.S. awards ceremonies have postponed their nominations or extended voting periods. However, BAFTA has continued with its schedule as planned.
This morning's BAFTA nominations highlighted films like The Brutalist, Anora, Wicked, and A Complete Unknown, which received strong recognition. The British-Irish dramedy Kneecap also impressed with six nominations. The nominations reflected strong performances in writing and storytelling across various genres.
The nominees for Best Film at the 2025 BAFTA Awards include Anora, The Brutalist, A Complete Unknown, Conclave, and Emilia Pérez. This year's race is considered open, with each nominee having a chance to win. The musical Wicked’s exclusion from the Best Film category has sparked surprise, especially in the U.S., where it is a strong contender for an Oscar nomination.
The Brutalist leads the pack for the Best Picture Oscar, with Adrien Brody favored to win Best Actor. Anora, The Brutalist, Conclave, and Emilia Pérez also earned Best Director nominations. Dune: Part Two and Nosferatu stood out in technical categories. Best Actress nominees include Cynthia Erivo, Karla Sofia Gascon, and others, while Best Actor features Adrien Brody and Timothée Chalamet. Demi Moore and Mikey Madison are closely matched for the Best Actress Oscar. Fernanda Torres, a Golden Globe winner, missed out on a nomination.
Several British films earned BAFTA nominations, including Blitz (three nominations), The Outrun (three nominations), and Hard Truths (two nominations). The Film Not In The English Language category saw films like All We Imagine As Light and Emilia Pérez nominated. The new Children’s And Family Film category introduced films like Wallace And Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl. Films like Queer and Challengers missed out, despite their Golden Globe recognition. BAFTA voters number over 8,000 across 50 countries.
