Oppenheimer and Poor Things Lead the 2024 BAFTA Awards Nominations

7 minute read

Nominations for the EE British Academy Film Award were announced Thursday at 12 p.m. local time in London via a livestream from the BAFTA headquarters at 195 Piccadilly.

Actors and former EE Rising Star nominees Naomi Ackie and Kingsley Ben-Adir announced this year’s nominees across the 12 leading categories. 

“We’re both thrilled to announce this year’s nominations. The BAFTA awards are voted for by almost 8,000 BAFTA members who are industry creatives and experts representing all the crafts of filmmaking,” said Ben-Adir. “Including actors,” added Ackie. 

“It’s an incredible achievement to be recognised by your fellow peers, a BAFTA nomination in any category reflects the hard work and creativity of every single person that contributed to the film’s success,” Ben-Adir noted. “These really are must-watch films of the past year,” Ackie continued, before the pair announced the nominees.

Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer led the shortlists with 13 nominations, followed by Yorgos Lanthimos' Poor Things, with 11 nominations. Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon, and Jonathan Glazer’s The Zone of Interest both earned nine nods.

Meanwhile Justine Triet’s The Anatomy of a Fall, Bradley Cooper’s Maestro, and Alexander Payne’s The Holdovers each secured seven nominations, and Andrew Haigh’s All of Us Strangers followed with six.

Greta Gerwig’s Barbie and Emerald Fennell’s Saltburn—among the buzziest films of the year for cinema-goers—are up in five categories respectively.

The BAFTA ceremony is set to take place on Sunday Feb. 18, at London’s Royal Festival Hall in the Southbank Centre, with 52-year-old Scottish actor David Tennant hosting the glitzy event. 

“I am delighted to have been asked to host the EE BAFTA Film Awards and help celebrate the very best of this year’s films and the many brilliant people who bring them to life,” Tenant said of his selection.
