Bafta Awards 2023: The full list of nominations
The British BAFTA awards ceremony marks the start of the (proper) awards season, with this year’s collection of nominees being led by the Netflix war movie All Quiet on the Western Front, which leads the line with 14 total nominations including Best Film, Best Director for Edward Berger and Best Film Not in the English Language.
Adapted from the novel by Erich Maria Remarque, the new WWI movie tells the story of Paul Bäumer (Felix Kammerer) a young German soldier whose life on the brutal western front is depicted in frank detail. Whilst the war movie leads the pack, the Martin McDonagh movie The Banshees of Inisherin, as well as the Daniels’ flick Everything Everywhere All at Once are both hot on its heels with ten nominations each.
Joining the aforementioned films in the nominations for Best Film is the Baz Luhrmann musical biopic Elvis, telling the life story of the ‘King of Rock’, starring Austin Butler at the helm, in addition, the Todd Field drama Tár also makes the cut. Starring Cate Blanchett, who is the favourite for Best Leading Actress, the film tells the story of the trials and tribulations of fictional German composer Lydia Tár.
