BAFTA Awards Nominations: Dune Dominates, Spencer Snubbed

The BAFTA Awards nominations were announced on Thursday, and while it was hardly surprising that Denis Villeneuve‘s sci-fi epic Dune led the field with 11 nominations, it was a bit shocking to see that Pablo Larraín‘s Princess Diana drama Spencer was snubbed entirely, and that includes its luminous leading lady, Kristen Stewart.

Jane Campion‘s The Power of the Dog and Kenneth Branagh‘s Belfast received eight and six BAFTA nods, respectively, though Lin-Manuel Miranda‘s musical Tick… Tick… Boom! failed to land a single nomination, even for Andrew Garfield‘s dynamite lead performance.

In the lead actor category, Will Smith picked up his very first BAFTA nod for his celebrated turn in King Richard, though Denzel Washington didn’t make the cut for The Tragedy of Macbeth, continuing his streak of BAFTA snubs.

Industry observers had presumed Nicole Kidman (Being the Ricardos) and Olivia Colman (The Lost Daughter) were the current Oscar frontrunners in the lead actress category, with Stewart not far behind, but none of them earned BAFTA nods, which instead went to up-and-comers such as Emilia Jones (CODA), Alana Haim (Licorice Pizza) and Renate Reinsve (The Worst Person in the World).

Meanwhile, in the directing category, Cannes winner Julia Ducournau (Titane) and Japanese helmer Ryûsuke Hamaguchi (Drive My Car) drew nominations over presumed Oscar favorites such as Steven Spielberg, Branagh, and Villeneuve, whose snub was particularly vexing given the extent to which the organization embraced Dune in other categories.

This year, 19 of the 24 performance slots (six nominees in four categories) went to first-time nominees, and that includes CODA star Troy Kotsur, who will compete against five other first-time BAFTA nominees in the Best Supporting Actor category.

The BAFTA Awards saw a total of 48 different films nominated, so the org clearly spread the love this year. Find out who wins on March 13, when the ceremony takes place. Until then feast your eyes on the full list of nominees below:
