The nominations for the 2019 British Academy of Film and Television Awards were announced this morning, with Yorgos Lanthimos’ wacky period drama The Favourite being recognised in 12 categories. It received nominations for awards including Best Film, Outstanding British Film and Best Director, as well as Best Leading Actress for Olivia Colman and Best Supporting Actress for both Emma Stone and Rachel Weisz.
Elsewhere, the likes of Roma, A Star is Born, and Bohemian Rhapsody all scored seven noms, as did the often overlooked First Man, which was included in the categories of Best Supporting Actress for Claire Foy and Original Screenplay among others.
Also successful was BlacKkKlansman, scooping nominations in the major categories including Spike Lee for Best Director. Big Golden-Globe winner Green Book made it into the nominees for Best Film, Best Supporting Actor and Original Screenplay.
