The Favourite leads BAFTAs with 12 nominations

The shock, anger of confusion of last Sunday's Golden Globes is starting to subside (GREEN BOOK, really?! Okay, last one), but awards season is just starting to get good as other organizations start announcing their year-end nominations. The British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) has just announced their awards for the EE British Academy Film awards, and they certainly have spread the wealth around to movies from both their home turf and across the pond – but mostly their home turf.

Coming in way ahead of the pack with a whopping 12 nominations is THE FAVOURITE from director Yorgos Lanthimos, a film made in co-partnership between Ireland, the United Kingdom and the U.S. Among its nominations are for Best Film, Outstanding British Film, Best Screenplay and acting nominations for Olivia Colman, Rachel Weisz and Emma Stone.  Following behind FAVOURITE are A STAR IS BORN, ROMA, FIRST MAN and BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY, each with seven nominations, VICE with six, and BLACKKKLANSMAN and GREEN BOOK with five and four, respectively.

One movie that’s played quite well across many different awards outlets that's virtually absent here is BLACK PANTHER, only securing one nomination for Visual Effects, not even making the cut in Production Design, Costume Design, Makeup or other tech categories. FIRST MAN and other period pieces have a stronger presence in those categories, with other critically acclaimed blockbusters like A QUIET PLACE, AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR and MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE – FALLOUT securing only one nomination each.

Here is the full list of nominations:
