Stars Descend on the BAFTA Film Awards, with ‘One Battle’ and ‘Sinners’ Leading the Race

One Battle After Another leads with 14 nominations, followed closely by Sinners with 13; 8,500 UK academy members vote in the EE BAFTA Film Awards.

  • The EE BAFTA Film Awards preview names Hamnet as a top contender for best picture, with odds suggesting it could beat rivals like One Battle After Another, as the ceremony airs tonight on BBC.
  • Voters may be swayed by Chloé Zhao’s adaptation of Maggie O'Farrell’s novel, and Zhao would become the first female director to win two BAFTAs if Hamnet wins, having won in 2021 for Nomadland.
  • Nomination totals show One Battle After Another leads with 14 BAFTA nods, Sinners holds 13, Hamnet and Marty Supreme each have 11, while Sinners tops Oscar nominations with 16.
  • Because BAFTA will also honour the Rising Star prize, the only public-voted award, industry experts say it could signal potential future A-listers.
  • Leading actor races feature Timothée Chalamet, Leonardo DiCaprio, Ethan Hawke, Michael B. Jordan, Jesse Plemons and Robert Aramayo, reflecting star-packed categories, while the directing field includes Paul Thomas Anderson and Yorgos Lanthimos. The BAFTAs keep a British emphasis with a separate best British film category.
