In the last two years, BAFTA managed to distance itself from the precursor norm, asserting an individual identity separated from the affairs of predicting the Oscars. Well, it seems such idiosyncrasies were a short-lived fad if this year's nominations are to be trusted. The weirdest thing about their latest slew of nominees is how much they align with expectations and repudiate the very possibility of weirdness. All Quiet on the Western Front leads the pack with 14 nominations, having been recognized in all possible categories apart from Best Actor. Next, we find The Banshees of Inisherin and Everything Everywhere All At Once, with ten each. Those are the only titles whose bounty amounts to double-digit nods.

Come discover the complete list of nominees, after the jump…

 

BEST FILM

1. ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT Malte Grunert
2. THE BANSHEES OF INISHERIN Graham Broadbent, Pete Czernin, Martin McDonagh
3. ELVIS Gail Berman, Baz Luhrmann, Catherine Martin, Patrick McCormick, Schuyler Weiss
4. EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE Daniel Kwan, Daniel Scheinert, Jonathan Wang
5. TÁR Todd Field, Scott Lambert, Alexandra Milchan 

The Fabelmans underperformed in the longlists, so its absence isn't surprising. Top Gun's lack of recognition is more shocking, though that shouldn't indicate any fragility on Oscar nomination morning. Elvis keeps getting stronger and stronger, as does All Quiet on the Western Front. With five nominations, TÁR is the likely fifth-placer among the bunch.

 

BEST DIRECTOR 

1. ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT Edward Berger
2. THE BANSHEES OF INISHERIN Martin McDonagh
3. DECISION TO LEAVE Park Chan-wook
4. EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE Daniel Kwan, Daniel Scheinert
5. TÁR Todd Field
6. THE WOMAN KING Gina Prince-Bythewood

Park Chan-wook and Gina Prince-Bythewood are two smashing surprises, while the rest are relatively unexciting choices. The saddest exclusion is certainly Aftersun, whose good longlist presence made it seem like it was more of a hit with the BAFTA's voting body. Justice for Charlotte Wells!

 

BEST LEADING ACTRESS

1. CATE BLANCHETT Tár
2. VIOLA DAVIS The Woman King
3. DANIELLE DEADWYLER Till
4. ANA DE ARMAS Blonde
5. EMMA THOMPSON Good Luck to You, Leo Grande
6. MICHELLE YEOH Everything Everywhere All At Once

Williams misses, underlining how much the British Academy didn't care for The Fabelmans. Still, after SAG also ignored her, her spot in the Oscar lineup feels increasingly unsecured. This is an excellent get for Deadwyler, who felt like she was fading in the race, while Ana de Armas continues her surge to a nomination. Emma Thompson is a delightful addition too, but the competition is still a death match between Blanchett and Yeoh.

 

BEST LEADING ACTOR

1. AUSTIN BUTLER Elvis
2. COLIN FARRELL The Banshees of Inisherin
3. BRENDAN FRASER The Whale
4. DARYL McCORMACK Good Luck to You, Leo Grande
5. PAUL MESCAL Aftersun
6. BILL NIGHY Living

McCormack's nomination was the day's most pleasant surprise, while Mescal's nomination elicited a breath of relief. Farrell will likely triumph here while Cruise's chances at an elusive Best Actor Oscar nomination dwindle. One wonders if the Aftersun star can get in for such an understated performance, but hope is everlasting, and this is a lovely boost to the young thespian's campaign.

 

BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS

1. ANGELA BASSETT Black Panther: Wakanda Forever
2. HONG CHAU The Whale
3. KERRY CONDON The Banshees of Inisherin
4. DOLLY DE LEON Triangle of Sadness
5. JAMIE LEE CURTIS Everything Everywhere All At Once
6. CAREY MULLIGAN She Said

I wonder if Bassett can continue her televised awards sweep with BAFTA or if another contender will rise to the top. Dolly De Leon nabs another major precursor, while Carey Mulligan probably benefits from some home-turf advantage. Film Twitter is surely aflutter with outrage for Curtis' nomination over Hsu.

 

BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR 

1. BRENDAN GLEESON The Banshees of Inisherin
2. BARRY KEOGHAN The Banshees of Inisherin
3. KE HUY QUAN Everything Everywhere All At Once
4. EDDIE REDMAYNE The Good Nurse
5. ALBRECHT SCHUCH All Quiet on the Western Front
6. MICHEAL WARD Empire of Light 

Schuch and Ward are the more idiosyncratic picks, while Redmayne surges. It should be noted that Oscar nomination voting ended before this announcement, so they won't influence the final results. However, since BAFTA's membership overlaps with the Academy, their choices might reveal where the industry's attention is focusing. It'll be interesting to see if Ke Huy Quan can continue his sweep or if one of the Banshees actors will triumph here instead.

 

BEST CASTING

1. AFTERSUN Lucy Pardee
2. ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT Simone Bär
3. ELVIS Nikki Barrett, Denise Chamian
4. EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE Sarah Halley Finn
5. TRIANGLE OF SADNESS Pauline Hansson

On the one hand, Aftersun making this lineup is fairly hilarious, considering it only has two roles of prominence. On the other hand, considering it got so little love in other categories, let's not complain about this honor. The Banshees of Inisherin not making the cut may indicate a slight preference for Everything Everywhere All At Once in the major categories where the two titles are in direct competition.

 

BEST ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY

1. THE BANSHEES OF INISHERIN Martin McDonagh
2. EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE Daniel Kwan, Daniel Scheinert
3. THE FABELMANS Tony Kushner, Steven Spielberg
4. TÁR Todd Field
5. TRIANGLE OF SADNESS Ruben Östlund

This is The Fabelmans' only BAFTA nomination, a curious place to honor the film all in all. Truth be told, I expect this to be a perfect replica of the eventual Oscar lineup.

 

BEST ADAPTED SCREENPLAY

1. ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT Edward Berger, Lesley Paterson, Ian Stokell
2. LIVING Kazuo Ishiguro
3. THE QUIET GIRL Colm Bairéad
4. SHE SAID Rebecca Lenkiewicz
5. THE WHALE Samuel D. Hunter 

A major miss for Women Talking, which got zero nominations from BAFTA. The Whale scores here after getting zilch from the USC Scripter, while The Quiet Girl is a brilliant addition that won't affect anyone's Oscar predictions. It would have been wonderful if these lists were filled, top to bottom, with such oddball choices instead of the usual suspects.

 

BEST EDITING

1. ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT Sven Budelmann
2. THE BANSHEES OF INISHERIN Mikkel E. G. Nielsen
3. ELVIS Jonathan Redmond, Matt Villa
4. EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE Paul Rogers
5. TOP GUN: MAVERICK Eddie Hamilton
6. I can only laugh at The Banshees of Inisherin's nomination, or else I might cry.

 

BEST CINEMATOGRAPHY

1. ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT James Friend
2. THE BATMAN Greig Fraser
3. ELVIS Mandy Walker
4. EMPIRE OF LIGHT Roger Deakins
5. TOP GUN: MAVERICK Claudio Miranda

Is this our Oscar lineup? It wouldn't surprise me, though one shouldn't discount a last-minute surge for The Fabelmans and/or Avatar: The Way of Water.

 

BEST PRODUCTION DESIGN

1. ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT Christian M. Goldbreck, Ernestine Hipper
2. BABYLON Florencia Martin, Anthony Carlino
3. THE BATMAN James Chinlund, Lee Sandales
4. ELVIS Catherine Martin, Karen Murphy, Bev Dunn
5. GUILLERMO DEL TORO'S PINOCCHIO Curt Enderle, Guy Davis 

That Pinocchio nomination is sublime and a rare celebration of stop-motion scenography. The rest are the expected titles, give or take the Avatar snub.

 

BEST COSTUME DESIGN

1. ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT Lisy Christl
2. AMSTERDAM J.R. Hawbaker, Albert Wolsky
3. BABYLON Mary Zophres
4. ELVIS Catherine Martin
5. MRS. HARRIS GOES TO PARIS Jenny Beavan

The All Quiet on the Western Front and Amsterdam nominations hurt my heart. I get the former, though you'll never get me excited for movie wardrobes singularly made up of military uniforms recreation. It's interesting to note that all of these are 20th-century set period films. Usually, you get either fantasy or earlier historical styles in contention. The last time something comparable happened was in 1990, though Pretty Women is no period film but the rare contemporary narrative nominated for Costume Design.

 

BEST MAKE UP & HAIR 

1. ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT Heike Merker
2. THE BATMAN Naomi Donne, Mike Marino, Zoe Tahir
3. ELVIS Jason Baird, Mark Coulier, Louise Coulston, Shane Thomas
4. ROALD DAHL'S MATILDA THE MUSICAL Naomi Donne, Barrie Gower, Sharon Martin
5. THE WHALE Anne Marie Bradley, Judy Chin, Adrien Morot 

Curious that Amsterdam made it into costumes but not makeup. However, it should be noted that Matilda is not among the Oscar finalists, having been left out of the shortlist.

 

BEST SPECIAL VISUAL EFFECTS

1. ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT Markus Frank, Kamil Jafar, Viktor Müller, Frank Petzoid
2. AVATAR: THE WAY OF WATER Richard Baneham, Daniel Barrett, Joe Letteri, Eric Saindon
3. THE BATMAN Russell Earl, Dan Lemmon, Anders Langlands, Dominic Tuohy
4. EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE Benjamin Brewer, Ethan Feldbau, Jonathan Kombrinck, Zak Stoltz
5. TOP GUN: MAVERICK Seth Hill, Scott R. Fisher, Bryan Litson, Ryan Tudhope 

Once again, we find four Oscar-shortlisted titles, plus another title. This time, it's Everything Everywhere All At Once, underlining the British Academy's love for the weird sci-fi epic melodrama.

 

BEST ORIGINAL SCORE 

1. ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT Volker Bertelmann
2. BABYLON Justin Hurwitz
3. THE BANSHEES OF INISHERIN Carter Burwell
4. EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE Son Lux
5. GUILLERMO DEL TORO’S PINOCCHIO Alexandre Desplat

Another tragic miss for Women Talking. In other news, the possibility of Son Lux being Oscar nominees is delightful to me.

 

BEST SOUND

1. ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT Lars Ginzsel, Frank Kruse, Viktor Prášil, Markus Stemler
2. AVATAR: THE WAY OF WATER Christopher Boyes, Michael Hedges, Julian Howarth, Gary Summers, Gwendoyln Yates Whittle
3. ELVIS Michael Keller, David Lee, Andy Nelson, Wayne Pashley
4. TÁR Deb Adair, Stephen Griffiths, Andy Shelley, Steve Single, Roland Winke
5. TOP GUN: MAVERICK Chris Burdon, James H. Mather, Al Nelson, Mark Taylor, Mark Weingarten 

The pattern continues here, with TÁR being the odd man out. But, honestly, I'm rooting for it, if nothing else, because it'd be the most chaotic choice possible.

 

BEST FILM NOT IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE

1. ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT Edward Berger, Malte Grunert
2. ARGENTINA, 1985 Santiago Mitre, Producer(s) TBC
3. CORSAGE Marie Kreutzer
4. DECISION TO LEAVE Park Chan-wook, Ko Dae-seok
5. THE QUIET GIRL Colm Bairéad, Cleona Ní Chrualaoí 

It's refreshing, if not necessarily pleasant, to see one of these lineups exclude RRR. The biggest beneficiaries of that absence are Corsage and The Quiet Girl. Nice to see that more than half of the nominees are also represented in other categories.

 

BEST ANIMATED FILM 

1. GUILLERMO DEL TORO’S PINOCCHIO Guillermo del Toro, Mark Gustafson, Gary Ungar, Alex Bulkley
2. MARCEL THE SHELL WITH SHOES ON Dean Fleisher Camp, Andrew Goldman, Elisabeth Holm, Caroline Kaplan, Paul Mezey
3. PUSS IN BOOTS: THE LAST WISH Joel Crawford, Mark Swift
4. TURNING RED Domee Shi, Lindsey Collins

Since the Academy has five slots to fill, instead of only four, I assume The Bad Guys will be added to this quartet. Pinocchio is the only nominee with additional nominations (Production Design + Score).

 

BEST DOCUMENTARY

1. ALL THAT BREATHES Shaunak Sen, Teddy Leifer, Aman Mann
2. ALL THE BEAUTY AND THE BLOODSHED Laura Poitras, Howard Gertler, Nan Goldin, Yoni Golijov, John Lyons
3. FIRE OF LOVE Sara Dosa, Shane Boris, Ina Fichman
4. MOONAGE DAYDREAM Brett Morgan
5. NAVALNY Daniel Roher, Diane Becker, Shane Boris, Melanie Miller, Odessa Rae 

Fire of Love and Moonage Daydream continue to amass Best Documentary honors. Let's see if they can keep this momentum with the Academy, whose branch is famously resistant to films made chiefly from archival footage.

 

OUTSTANDING BRITISH FILM 

1. AFTERSUN Charlotte Wells
2. THE BANSHEES OF INISHERIN Martin McDonagh, Graham Broadbent, Pete Czernin
3. BRIAN AND CHARLES Jim Archer, Rupert Majendie, David Earl, Chris Hayward
4. EMPIRE OF LIGHT Sam Mendes, Pippa Harris
5. GOOD LUCK TO YOU, LEO GRANDE Sophie Hyde, Debbie Gray, Adrian Politowski, Katy Brand
6. LIVING Oliver Hermanus, Elizabeth Karlsen, Stephen Woolley, Kazuo Ishiguro
7. ROALD DAHL'S MATILDA THE MUSICAL Matthew Warchus, Tim Bevan, Eric Fellner, Jon Finn, Luke Kelly, Dennis Kelly
8. SEE HOW THEY RUN Tom George, Gina Carter, Damian Jones, Mark Chappell
9. THE SWIMMERS Sally El Hosaini, Producer(s) TBC, Jack Thorne
10. THE WONDER Sebastián Lelio, Ed Guiney, Juliette Howell, Andrew Lowe, Tessa Ross, Alice Birch, Emma Donoghue 

As someone who thinks The Wonder is one of 2022's most unfairly underrated gems, I'm overjoyed to see it recognized here. In any case, The Banshees of Inisherin has this in the bag.

 

OUTSTANDING DEBUT BY A BRITISH WRITER, DIRECTOR OR PRODUCER 

1. AFTERSUN Charlotte Wells (Writer/Director)
2. BLUE JEAN Georgia Oakley (Writer/Director), Hélène Sifre (Producer)
3. ELECTRIC MALADY Marie Lidén (Director)
4. GOOD LUCK TO YOU, LEO GRANDE Katy Brand (Writer)
5. REBELLION Maia Kenworthy (Director)
6. Rooting for Aftersun while also yearning to finally see Blue Jean. I can't believe I'm this excited about a film centering on a PE teacher.

 

BEST BRITISH SHORT FILM

1. THE BALLAD OF OLIVE MORRIS Alex Kayode-Kay
2. BAZIGAGA Jo Ingabire Moys, Stephanie Charmail
3. BUS GIRL Jessica Henwick, Louise Palmkvist Hansen
4. A DRIFTING UP Jacob Lee
5. AN IRISH GOODBYE Tom Berkeley, Ross White  
6. An Irish Goodbye is also shortlisted for the Oscars.

 

BEST BRITISH SHORT ANIMATION

1. THE BOY, THE MOLE, THE FOX AND THE HORSE Peter Baynton, Charlie Mackesy, Cara Speller, Hannah Minghella
2. MIDDLE WATCH John Stevenson, Aiesha Penwarden, Giles Healy
3. YOUR MOUNTAIN IS WAITING Hannah Jacobs, Zoe Muslim, Harriet Gillian 
4. The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse is also shortlisted for the Oscars

 

The EE Rising Star Award nominees were previously announced and represent the only category where the public chooses the winner. With his Best Actor nomination, Daryl McCormack is the only "rising star" celebrated outside of that specific lineup.
