BAFTA nominations

Hot on the heels of the Golden Globe Awards in the United States, we are now looking closer to shore as the BAFTA nominations have been revealed – and there is no surprise which film is the biggest contender…

Yes, you may have guessed right – LA LA LAND has once again topped the nominations list for the British Academy Film Awards garnering 11 nominations and after its record breaking success at the Golden Globes last weekend, we wouldn’t be surprised to see them fare well also at this year’s BAFTA ceremony.

LA LA LAND doesn’t hit the big screen here until Friday, but already the critics have put it up for best film and of course, the movie’s leading stars, Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone have also been recognised in the best actor and best actress category respectively. 

Hot on the film’s heels in the nomination stakes is sci-fi film ARRIVAL and Tom Ford‘s thrilling drama NOCTURNAL ANIMALS, which are both paired at nine nominations each. 

BAFTA nominations

ARRIVAL, LA LA LAND, MANCHESTER BY THE SEA and MOONLIGHT are up for the best film category. Joining them is Ken Loach‘s I, DANIEL BLAKE, which has also been nominated in the best film category and best British film, with Hayley Squires, who plays a single mother in the film, up for best supporting actress.

Of course the other big global hit of 2016 is FANTASTIC BEASTS AND WHERE TO FIND THEM. Happiness for Harry Potter fans then, as the film is up for the outstanding British film award, which has five nominations in all.

In line to pick up the best actor gong is Ryan Gosling for LA LA LAND, Andrew Garfield for HACKSAW RIDGE, Casey Affleck for MANCHESTER BY THE SEA, Jake Gyllenhaal for NOCTURNAL ANIMALS and Viggo Mortensen for CAPTAIN FANTASTIC. 

Manchester By The Sea

The best actress category also sports tough competitions with nods for Meryl Streep (who has now secured her 15th career BAFTA nomination), Emily Blunt, Emma Stone, Amy Adams and Natalie Portman. That’s definitely a tough category to call with superb performances in all of the films.

Arrival

Best supporting actress nominations include Naomie Harris, Viola Davis, Nicole Kidman and Michelle Williams with Hugh Grant, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Dev Patel up for best supporting actor. 

Director Damien Chazelle is Bafta-shortlisted in both the director and original screenplay categories. Kenneth Lonergan and Tom Ford also receive dual director and screenplay nods for MANCHESTER BY THE SEA and NOCTURNAL ANIMALS respectively.

ARRIVAL’s Denis Villeneuve joins Chazelle, Ford, Loach and Lonergan in the best director category.
