The ballots are starting to come in, but there’s still no clear front-runner in the awards race.
“Conclave,” Edward Berger’s political thriller about a papal election, barely edged out “Emilia Pérez,” Jacques Audiard’s Mexico-set musical about a trans cartel boss, in the nominations for the EE BAFTA Film Awards on Wednesday, 12 nods to 11. Brady Corbet’s epic tale of an emigré architect in midcentury America, “The Brutalist,” was next on the list with nine.
With Oscar nominations voting open until Friday due to delays caused by the L.A. wildfires, the announcement offers a final boost to the top contenders, and perhaps some clarity on which titles have momentum: BAFTA membership has some overlap with the film academy, though not as substantial as the guilds, which hand out their own precursor awards.
BAFTA will award its prizes on Feb. 16. See the full list of nominees below.
