As the Oscar nominations are pushed back because of LA's wildfires, the BAFTAs (British Academy of Film and Television Arts) noms from London were made public on schedule on Jan. 15. Conclave and Emilia Perez were top of the list with 12 and 11 citations respectively. Conclave's noms include both Best Film and Best British film as well as nods to Leading Actor Ralph Fiennes, Supporting Actress Isabella Rossellini, and Director Edward Berger. Emilia Perez is also up for Best Film and also for Best Film Not in the English Language, Best Actress Karla Sofia Garscon and Supporting Actresses Zoe Saldana and Selena Gomez. The awards will be presented in London on Feb. 15. 

Notable snubs include Pamela Anderson for The Last Showgirl, Nicole Kidman for Babygirl, Fernanda Torres for I'm Still Here, Daniel Craig for Queer, Denzel Washington in Gladiator 2, and Margaret Qualley for The Substance. Marianne Jean-Baptiste who won the Best Actress Awards from NY, LA and National Society film critics groups and was snubbed by the Golden Globes and the SAGs, did make the BAFTA cut for her acclaimed performance in the British film Hard Truths.
