The Brits dominated the winners at the Golden Globes on Sunday, and we now have the full list of nominees for the BAFTAs. The awards ceremony takes place in London on February 2nd and it's Joker that's leading the pack this year with an impressive eleven nominations. 

The Irishman and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood aren't too far behind with ten, while 1917 - a surprise winner at the Globes - has nine. Interestingly, Birds of Prey star Margot Robbie will be competing against herself in the "Best Supporting Actress" category for Bombshell and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (a film which she had only a handful of lines in). 

Avengers: Endgame and Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker are also nominated, albeit in the visual effects categories. However, composer John Williams has received a nod for his work on the latter.
 
The British Academy has also introduced a new "Casting" category and you can find all the details on that - and the full list of nominees for the awards - by hitting the "View List" button below.

Joker is definitely getting several noms at the Academy Awards

A Phoenix nomination for Joker isn't surprising anymore, and he deserves it, together with the score. But some of these other categories that it's nominated for make no sense. Best Director for Todd Philips is just weird. The direction is fine, but could have been done by anyone pretty much (and done better by someone like David Fincher, who was my pick for a Joker movie). Him getting a nomination above the likes of James Mangold (Ford v Ferrari), Taika Waititi (Jojo Rabbit), Rian Johnson (Knives Out) and Noah Baumbach (Marriage Story) is just absurd. It's going to be really interesting to see if Joker gets a Best Picture nomination at the Oscars (which seems likely at this point). Well, at least it will be more deserving than that Best Picture nom Black Panther got (still don't understand why, just because of the diversity I guess).

@Tcb97 - I mean Black Panther did great with critics and audiences. 97% Rotten Tomatoes score with 100% from Top Critics. 88 Metacritic score. One of the few A+ CinemaScores for Superhero films. To say Joker is more deserving of Best Picture than Black Panther is a matter of opinion not fact.

@Tcb97 - I found one! What movies should have been nominated instead of BP? Because you've provided no examples. "If Beale Street Could Talk" I feel warranted a nod, and it should have replaced Vice.

@LiteralSense90 - It's super strange but award shows rarely nominate only the "best" films. Black Panther was one of the best and most widely celebrated films in years and despite the massive critical acclaim, it likely wouldn't have gotten nominated if not for it's cultural impact mixed with how much it resonated across multiple demographics. That's what's so weird, and makes BP a bit of a miracle

So much of the voting body are focused on ass sniffing, entertainment politics and snobbery that it doesn't matter how monotonous and narrow the nominee selections are year after year, they still vote for the same types of stuff over and over again regardless of how "good" it is because they're often times more focused on personal sensibilities about what 'should' be at the Oscars

@EskimoJ - Beale Street is so hauntingly great

That and SILENCE have stuck with me more than most movies ever do

Made this comment and immediately logged onto Twitter where someone just noted Denzel has never been nominated for a BAFTA so now I understand everything I need to know about them.

@OmegaDaGrodd

Who would you have nominated and for what?

Lupita prolly has the best chance of an acting nom this year. And honestly I think she’s kind of overrated in that movie. She was fine but not best of the year good.

Best Adapted Screenplay nom for Joker?

Is this where the people say that the movie "doesn't deserve" its nominations/accolades but never offer up any better alternatives, or does that part come later?
