The BAFTA nominations were announced today and a lot of people were shocked by the lack of nominations for Barbie, Martin Scorsese, Greta Gerwing, Lily Gladstone, and Charles Melton. People also noted that Oppenheimer had a strong showing and so did The Holdovers, which would seem to suggest The Holdovers might be a stronger contender than is usually suggested.
Here are the BAFTA nominations. Make of them what you will. (It should be noted that the BAFTA noms are determined in a different way than the Oscars so it’s perhaps a mistake to read too much into them.)
