Oppenheimer leads nominations for 2024 BAFTA Film Awards

Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer leads the nominations for the 2024 BAFTA Film Awards.

The biographical thriller received 13 nominations when the shortlists were unveiled by Naomi Ackie and Kingsley Ben-Adir on Thursday. It was nominated for Best Film, Director and Original Screenplay, while Cillian Murphy, Emily Blunt and Robert Downey Jr. were recognised for their performances.

Oppenheimer was closely followed by Yorgos Lanthimos’ Poor Things with 11 nods and Killers of the Flower Moon and The Zone of Interest with nine.

While Barbie came top in most nominations shortlists in America, it didn’t fare so well across the pond. It only picked up five nominations, including Original Screenplay, Leading Actress for Margot Robbie and Supporting Actor for Ryan Gosling.

It missed out on the coveted Best Film category, which features Oppenheimer, Anatomy of a Fall, The Holdovers, Killers of the Flower Moon and Poor Things.

For Leading Actor, Murphy was unveiled along with Barry Keoghan (Saltburn), Bradley Cooper (Maestro), Colman Domingo (Rustin) Paul Giamatti (The Holdovers) and Teo Yoo (Past Lives).

Meanwhile, for Leading Actress, Robbie was nominated alongside Carey Mulligan (Maestro), Emma Stone (Poor Things), Fantasia Barrino (The Color Purple), Vivian Oparah (Rye Lane) and Sandra Hüller (Anatomy of a Fall).

Hüller was a double nominee thanks to a supporting actress nod for The Zone of Interest.

The nominees for the EE Rising Star Award, the only category voted for by the public, were announced last week. They are Jacob Elordi, Ayo Edebiri, Phoebe Dynevor, Mia McKenna-Bruce and Sophie Wilde.

The 2024 BAFTA Film Awards will be hosted by David Tennant on Sunday 18 February at the Royal Festival Hall in London.
