‘Oppenheimer’ leads nominations at BAFTA Awards

The nominations for the 2024 BAFTA Film Awards have been announced. And as expected, Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer led nominations, securing 13 nods.

Yorgos Lanthimos' black-comedy science fantasy Poor Things also grabbed the top spot in the list as it earned 11 nods.

---

As per The Hollywood Reporter, Oppenheimer, which had earned 15 mentions on the BAFTA longlists unveiled earlier this month, is competing for British Academy honours in such categories as Best Film, Director (for Nolan), Adapted Screenplay, as well as for Best Leading Actor (Cillian Murphy), Best Supporting Actress (Emily Blunt) and Best Supporting Actor (Robert Downey Jr.), among others.

Poor Things is nominated for such honors as Best Film, outstanding British Film (for Lanthimos and others), Best Adapted Screenplay, as well as Best Leading Actress (Emma Stone).

Greta Gerwig's Barbie, one of the highest-grossing films of 2023, fell short. It secured nomination in only five categories.

The final winners will be unveiled and presented with their awards at the 77th BAFTA Film Awards ceremony, set to take place Sunday, February 18, at London's Royal Festival Hall, which serves as the ceremony's venue for the second year in a row after several years at Royal Albert Hall. In India, the awards will be streaming live on Lionsgate Play.

Scottish actor David Tennant (Doctor Who, Inside Man) will host this year's awards ceremony.
