BAFTA has announced the nominees for its 2023 film awards, and Netflix’s All Quiet on the Western Front is leading the pack.

A total of 45 feature films received nominations, with the German-language war film taking home 14 nominations. Close behind it are The Banshees of Inisherin and Everything Everywhere All At Once, on 10 nominations, then Elvis with 9, and Tár with 8. Aftersun, The Batman, Good Luck to You, Leo Grande, Top Gun: Maverick and The Whale all have 4 apiece, while 3 went to each of Babylon, Empire of Light, Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio, Living and Triangle of Sadness. Avatar: The Way of Water, Decision to Leave, The Quiet Girl, Roald Dahl’s Matilda The Musical, She Said and The Woman King all received 2 nominations.

First-time nominees feature heavily this year, with 14 of the 24 nominees in the performance categories receiving their first BAFTA Film nomination. They include Ana De Armas (Blonde), Angela Bassett (Black Panther: Wakanda Forever), Austin Butler (Elvis), Colin Farrell (The Banshees of Inisherin), Brendan Fraser (The Whale), Paul Mescal (Aftersun) and Ke Huy Quan (Everything Everywhere All At Once).

In the Best Director category, 4 of the 6 are first time Director nominees: Gina Prince-Bythewood (The Woman King); Todd Field (Tár), Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert (Everything Everywhere All At Once) and Edward Berger (All Quiet on the Western Front).

Notable snubs include Steven Spielberg’s The Fabelmans, Sarah Polley’s Women Talking, Golden Globes hit RRR, Alejandro González Iñárritu’s Bardo, Noah Baumbach’s White Noise, Rian Johnson’s Glass Onion and Everything Everywhere All at Once’s Stephanie Hsu.

All Quiet on the Western Front equals Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon (2001) as the film not the English language with the most nominations in BAFTA’s history. Its success means that Netflix is the distributor with the highest nominations count, with a total of 21, followed by Searchlight (14) and Warner Bros (13). Amazon Studios has 1 nomination for Argentina 1985, while MUBI has 2 nominations.

The winners will be announced at the EE BAFTA Film Awards on Sunday 19th February at 7pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer, with Richard E Grant hosting the ceremony.
