The 2026 BAFTA Nominations
"The BAFTA Film Awards, the Oscars' sophisticated, daffy British cousin, released its list of nominees this morning with the assistance of presenters Aimee Lou Wood and David Johnson, with One Battle After Anotherand leading the pack. Most notable about this lineup of nominees are those who were snubbed by the Oscars: Chase Infiniti in Leading Actress for OBAA,Odessa A'Zion in Supporting for Marty Supreme, and Paul Mescal in Supporting for playing Shakespeare in Hamnet."
"There were also multiple nominations for British films like I Swear, The Ballad of Wallis Island,and Pillion.Meanwhile, the British Academy has no love for KPop Demon Hunters,which was shut out. Wicked: For Good was also shut out of the major categories, although it received noms for Costumes and Hair & Makeup. Also of note, in the U.K. they call Zootopia "Zootropolis. " Delightful! This key Oscars precursor will air on February 22, hosted by Alan Cumming."
