American awards committees and guilds have been dominating the season (and the Oscar nominations drop on Tuesday), but today it was the turn of the British Academy of Film and Television Art, which delivered its movie nominees.

And, at least in of the nominees, it was a very good year for All Quiet on the Western Front’ collect an impressive 14 nominations, the most of any movie this year.

Also likely to be happy? A24, which saw ‘Critics Choice Awards this past weekend.

A fair amount of familiar names and titles from the season popped up this time, with ‘Pinocchio’.

The BAFTAs were also a place for movies that had seen little attention so far, including murder mystery comedy drama ‘She Said’ appearing on lists, albeit outside the major categories.

Perhaps most interestingly were names that didn’t make the cut––though Avatar: The Way of Water’ made little impact on the main categories.

Indeed, the director category was a much more diverse offering than some other awards, the likes of Park Chan-Wook secured nominations.

And, of course, there was a focus on British talent and output, some of which is unlikely to appear much elsewhere, but we’re glad to see the likes of ‘Good Luck to You, Leo Grande’, which looked like it was going to be a contender earlier in 2022 but has largely faded beyond a few mentions.

This year’s BAFTA ceremony will take place at Royal Festival Hall in London on February 19th, with Richard E. Grant hosting, pointing to what will hopefully be an entertaining evening.
