On nominations alone, it could very well be Guillermo del Toro's aquatic romance The Shape of Water, which garnered 12 nods, the most of any film this year. However, though the film similarly dominated the Golden Globes nominations, it was actually Martin McDonagh's Three Billboards Outside of Ebbing, Missouri which walked away as the night's big winner - with four awards in total. The film is nominated in nine categories at the BAFTAs.
Winston Churchill biopic Darkest Hour ties Three Billboards with nine nominations, with Gary Oldman's lead performance a likely shoo-in for Best Actor. Indeed, this year's BAFTAs boast a strong British presence: Christopher Nolan's epic Dunkirk has eight nominations, while Paddington 2 and Film Stars Don't Die in Liverpool both have three nominations each.
The BAFTA nominations have, however, been fairly damning for both Lady Bird and Get Out's hopes in the awards race. Though initial favourites, the films seem to slowly be being phased out of the awards conversation, with neither managing to land Best Film or Best Director nods. The same can be said of Steven Spielberg's The Post, which was largely anticipated as a shoo-in before its release, but has failed to gain much interest from voting bodies.
