Your support makes all the difference.The Bafta nominations for 2024 have been announced in London.
On Thursday (18 January), the nominated films, actors, directors and writers were revealed by former EE Rising Star nominees Naomi Ackie and Kingsley Ben-Adir during a live press conference.
This year’s Baftas, which are taking place in the UK’s capital city on 18 February, will be presented by actor David Tennant, in his first TV appearance since returning for a series of Doctor Who specials in 2023.
The only category that was announced ahead of the official line-up was the Rising Star award, nominees for which include Saltburn actor Jacob Elordi as well asThe Bear star Ayo Edebiri, whose film credits include Theatre Camp and Bottoms.
Films in contention include Oppenheimer, which swept the board at both the Golden Globes and Critics Choice Awards earlier this month, as well as its blockbuster rival Barbie, Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon and Poor Things, starring Emma Stone.
One film that was not named in several categories in May December, the Todd Haynes-directed drama starring Natalie Portman and Charles Melton. Both actors are expected to be in the Oscars race when nominations are revealed on 23 January but, upon the release of the Baftas longlist, many were shocked to discover the duo were nowhere to be seen.

Firstly, let’s hear it for Teo Yoo! The Past Lives actor has been nominated in the Leading Actor category for his tender turn in Celine Song’s film, which picked up a total of four nominations.
Nothing for Song or his co-star Greta Lee, though.
Vivian Oparah!
Big shout out to Vivian Oparah who has been nominated for a Leading Actress for the little film that could, Rye Lane.
She’s the beating heart of the film, so a nomination for Oparah has made us smile. She faces fierce competition from Sandra Hüller (Anatomy of a Fall) and Emma Stone (Poor Things), which brings us onto our next point...
Where is Lily Gladstone?
While I do think Lily Gladstone is more of a supporting role in Killers of the Flower Moon, she is being widely tipped to not only be nominated for Best Actress at the Oscars, but to win the award.
Following Emma Stone’s surprise win at the Critics Choice Awards earlier this week, could the Poor Things star be on her way to winning her second Oscar?
Danielle Brooks reacts
Brooks has been nominated in the Supporting Actress category for The Color Purple.
She said: “Thank you Bafta for this incredible honor. I feel so humbled to be recognized in this way. I have always felt the story of ‘Sofia’ and The Color Purple is a truly universal one – one of empowerment, resilience, connection, and healing.
“All of us in this world have gone on the journey of finding the strength to stand up for ourselves with pride and self-love. That is what I hope continues to resonate with everyone when they see this film, and I am grateful The Color Purple has not only personally impacted me in such a manner, but has also brought me to this amazing moment.
