The 2019 BAFTA nominations have been announced, and Roma is near the front of the pack, joining First Man, A Star Is Born and The Favourite.

Netflix is having its best awards season to date with Alfonso Cuaron’s heartfelt epic, which has long been mooted for BAFTA and Oscar success. BAFTA members have nominated it in seven categories, including Best Film, Film Not in the English Language, Director, Original Screenplay, Cinematography and Editing. Alfonso Cuarón is nominated in all of these categories. The film is also nominated for Production Design. (Netflix’s The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, by the Coen Bros., has also been nominated for Costume Design.)

For Roma to win Best Film, though, it will have to dethrone The Favourite, which is, well, the favourite. The Favourite is nominated for 12 prizes, including Best Film, Outstanding British Film, Original Screenplay, Cinematography, Production Design, Costume Design, Make Up & Hair, Editing and Yorgos Lanthimos for Director. Colman is nominated for Leading Actress for her role as Queen Anne, and Rachel Weisz and Emma Stone are both nominated for Supporting Actress.

Bohemian Rhapsody and A Star Is Born also have seven nominations, ahead of Vice’s six, BlacKkKlansman’s five, and Green Room’s four. Amazon Studios’ Cold War also has four nominations, for Film Not in the English Language, Original Screenplay and Cinematography, with a further nomination for Paweł Pawlikowski as Director. Amazon’s You Were Never Really Here, directed by Lynne Ramsay, is up for Outstanding British Film, but received no other nominations.

A Star Is Born is nominated in seven categories; Leading Actor, Director, Adapted Screenplay, Original Music, Sound, Best Film and Leading Actress for Lady Gaga. Bradley Cooper is nominated for five of these categories.

Bohemian Rhapsody received nominations for Outstanding British Film, Cinematography, Editing, Sound, Costume Design, and Make Up & Hair, as well as Leading Actor for Rami Malek for his role as Freddie Mercury.

First Man received nominations for Adapted Screenplay, Cinematography, Editing, Production Design, Sound, and Special Visual Effects, as well as Supporting Actress for Claire Foy.

Vice has three performance nominees: Christian Bale in Leading Actor for his role as former US Vice President Dick Cheney, with Amy Adams and Sam Rockwell in the supporting categories for their roles as Lynne Cheney and George W. Bush. The film is also nominated for Original Screenplay, Editing, and Make Up & Hair.

Spike Lee is nominated for Director and Adapted Screenplay for BlacKkKlansman, which is also nominated for Best Film, Original Music and Supporting Actor for Adam Driver.

Viggo Mortensen is nominated for Leading Actor and Mahershala Ali for Supporting Actor for their roles in Green Book. The film is also nominated for Best Film and Original Screenplay.

Also receiving acting nominations are Glenn Close (Leading Actress for The Wife), Viola Davis (Leading Actress for Widows), and Timothée Chalamet (Supporting Actor for Beautiful Boy).

McQueen is nominated for Outstanding British Film and Documentary. The other nominations in Outstanding British Film and Beast; the latter is also nominated for Outstanding Debut by a British Writer, Director or Producer for Michael Pearce (Writer/Director) and Lauren Dark (Producer). The other nominations for Outstanding Debut by a British Writer, Director or Producer are: Daniel Kokotajlo (Writer/Director) for Apostasy; Chris Kelly (Writer/Director/Producer) for A Cambodian Spring; Leanne Welham (Writer/Director) and Sophie Harman (Producer) for Pili; and Richard Billingham (Writer/Director) and Jacqui Davies (Producer) for Ray & Liz.

Isle of Dogs is nominated for Original Music and Animated Film. Incredibles 2 and Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse complete the nominations for Animated Film.

Capernaum, Dogman, and Shoplifters are the other nominations for Film Not in the English Language. Completing the list for the Documentary category are Free Solo, RBG, They Shall Not Grow Old and Three Identical Strangers.

Receiving one nomination each are A Quiet Place and Mission: Impossible – Fallout, both for Sound, and Avengers: Infinity War, Black Panther and Ready Player One, all for Special Visual Effects.

The nominees for the EE Rising Star Award announced last week are Barry Keoghan, Cynthia Erivo, Jessie Buckley, Lakeith Stanfield and Letitia Wright. The award is voted for by the British public and presented to an actress or actor who has demonstrated exceptional talent and has begun to capture the imagination of the UK public. You can find out where to see each of them in action here.

The EE British Academy Film Awards take place on Sunday 10th February at the Royal Albert Hall, London. The ceremony will be hosted by Joanna Lumley and will be broadcast on BBC One.
