British Academy Film Awards nominations have been unveiled. And All Quiet On The Western Front dominates the 2023 BAFTA film awards with a total of 14 nominations. The British Academy’s London HQ announced the nomination list on Thursday. The nominees followed a similar order to the BAFTA longlists which were revealed earlier this month.
Previously, All Quiet was ahead of awards season favourites The Banshees of Inisherin and Everything Everywhere All At One with each landing 10 nominations. Both films dominated the performance categories, with nominations for Everything Everywhere’s Michelle Yeoh, Ke Huy Quan and Jamie Lee Curtis, and Banshees’ first nomination for Colin Farrell, Kerry Condon, Brendan Gleeson and Barry Keoghan.
Notably, Gleeson and Keoghan nod two of the five supporting actors’ places. Moreover, Netflix’s acclaimed anti-war epic will now tie with Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon for BAFTA’s most nominated foreign-language film in its history. All Quiet On The Western Front is set to compete for best film, director, adapted screenplay, and supporting actor alongside almost every single below-the-line category when the winners are announced on February 19.
Just behind with nine nominations is the hit biopic Elvis, up for best film and best actor for Austin Butler, and seven of the art categories. However, the 2023 nomination list is different from the previous year as this year’s BAFTA nomination features a wide and diverse list. The awards have expanded categories offering several BAFTA first-timers. Furthermore, Tár received 5 nominations followed by Aftersun, The Batman, Good Luck to You Leo, Grande, Top Gun: Maverick and The Whale, which got four nods.
