78th British Academy Film Awards
Notes from Rich: The British Academy of Film and Television Arts is the top tier of talent in the UK, so their awards mean something, and the voters are loosely equivalent to Ampas (aka the Oscars) in the US. That said, Bafta continues to tinker with its voting system, so their nominees and winners are becoming more distinctive. This year's nominees reflect the usual quirks of this group, with extra love for Hugh Grant and the British/Irish Kneecap, plus more than expected for Sing Sing and The Apprentice. As always, they have also missed a major British nominee, Daniel Craig. Others surprisingly missing include Denzel Washington, Nicole Kidman, Challengers and La Chimera. Even with 9 nominations, Wicked feels under-nominated. And then there's that utterly pointless Children's & Family Film category.
