The British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) 2020 film nominations were announced late last night. Todd Phillips’??led the pack of nominees with 11 nominations, including for Best Film, Best Director, and Best Actor for Joaquin Phoenix, fresh off of hisvictory.andboth followed with 10 nominations each and Sam Mendes’ World War I epic and newly minted Golden Globe winner1917?earned nine nominations, including for Best Film, Best Director, and Best Cinematography for iconic cinematographer.JokerGolden GlobesOnce Upon A Time in HollywoodThe IrishmanRoger Deakins
Though we saw many familiar and expected names among the nominees, an acting slate?without a single performer of color did not go unnoticed, particularly in a year that featured the award-worthy work of Golden Globe-winner Awkwafina (The Farewell) – who did pick up a Rising Star nomination – along with Lupita Nyong’o (Us), Jennifer Lopez (Hustlers), and British actress Cynthia Erivo (Harriet).?Surprise double nominations for Scarlett Johansson and Margot Robbie (the latter in the same category, Supporting Actress), may have squeezed out some of those names. The Oscar nominations come out next Monday, January 13, and it will be interesting to see whether?the American Academy goes a different route.
