2020 BAFTA Nominees & Winners

With the Golden Globes and the official start of the film awards season firmly out of the way, the next big awards on the calendar are the British Academy Film (and Television) Awards. It seems the disappointment of zero female directors being nominated in the Best Director category of the Globes has been mirrored in the BAFTA nominations, with the likes of Greta Gerwig, Marielle Heller and Lorene Scafaria missing out on arguably well-deserved nominations. We do however see a lot of praise for films helmed or co-helmed by women, such as For Sama, The Farewell and Frozen 2 (with Gerwig at least picking up a nomination for her incredible screenplay adaptation of Little Women).

Below is a comprehensive list of this year’s nominees. Winners will be highlighted as they are announced via television broadcast.

Tune in to BBC One at 9pm on February 2nd for the ceremony (which will likely be broadcast with a delay of up to two hours to allow for editing, as per usual), hosted this year for the first time by Graham Norton.
