Hot off of the Nikki Glaser-hosted Golden Globes, we're officially in awards season, and that means it's just about time for the 2025 British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) award nominations. The BAFTAs tend to be among the more prestigious of the bunch, awarding craftsmanship and breakthrough artistic accomplishments above all else. What impressed the judges this year, you ask? The three leading films are Conclave (12 nominations), Emelia Pérez (11), and The Brutalist (9), shortly followed by Anora, Dune: Part Two, and Wicked (7). The biggest surprise here might be that Conclave is in the lead, papally towering over the competition. Considering it only took away Best Screenplay at the Golden Globes, we'll see if its nominations bear any weight to victory. The biggest snub here is probably Challengers, an Oscar frontrunner with top-notch technical prowess earning zero nominations. That being said, it's nice to see some smaller films get some attention—Kneecap has a surprising six noms, while indie darlings Heretic and Love Lies Bleeding also made the cut. Tune into the BBC on February 16 for the winners, but for now, check out the films and their nominations below! 2025 EE BAFTA NomineesAll We Imagine as Light Film Not in the English Language: Payal Kapadia, Thomas HakimAnora Best Film: Alex Coco, Samantha Quan, Sean Baker Director: Sean Baker Original Screenplay: Written by Sean Baker Leading Actress: Mikey Madison Supporting Actor: Yura Borisov Casting: Sean Baker, Samantha Quan Editing: Sean BakerThe Apprentice Leading Actor: Sebastian Stan Supporting...
