Soda Pictures’ Toni Erdmann Nominated for a BAFTA

General

The overlap between voting members of the British Academy of Film and Television Arts and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is quite significant, and so Tuesday’s announcement of this year’s BAFTA nominations can give us a pretty fair prediction of where the Oscar nominations are likely heading. Unsurprisingly, La La Land’s visually stunning homage to the splendor of movie musicals enraptured many a BAFTA voter, capturing 11 nominations—including Best Film, Best Director for Damien Chazelle, and Leading Actor and Actress for Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone, respectively. Tom Ford’s Nocturnal Animals was close on its heels, receiving 9 nominations—perhaps a bit unexpected, if not for all of its technical nods (the film is aesthetically stunning), then for its Adapted Screenplay, Director, and Supporting Actor (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) honors. (As Slate’s Willa Paskin put it, it’s essentially an “immaculate commercial.”)

Elsewhere, Manchester by the Sea and Moonlight nabbed six and four nominations, respectively. And on the more distinctly British side of things, nods for Outstanding British Film included Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them and Andrea Arnold’s American Honey. As was reported last month, next year will mark the beginning of a new BAFTA requirement for the Outstanding British Film and Outstanding Debut by a British Writer, Director, or Producer categories, in which eligible films must showcase diversity and inclusion in at least two different ways, on camera or off. A quick look at the nominations in those categories, which include stories about disability, people of color, and women, seems to indicate that not much will have to change in the years to come. The awards will be announced on Feb. 12—check out some of the other nominations below, and the full list here.
