bafta film award nominations: 'all quiet on the western front' leads on 14 nods
netflix's german-language war film lands most noms since 2011 as spielberg, cameron and inarritu features lose out |
Nominations for the 2023 BAFTA Film Awards have been unveiled.
Leading the way this year is Netflix’s German-language World War I drama All Quiet on the Western Front with 14 nominations, including Best Film, Director, and Adapted Screenplay nods. All Quiet’s haul equals the previous record set by Ang Lee’s Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon for the most nominations for a non-English language film in BAFTA history. All Quiet has also clocked the most BAFTA noms for an individual film since The King’s Speech in 2011, which had 14.
Martin McDonagh’s latest tragicomedy, The Banshees Of Inisherin, and Everything Everywhere All at Once, from A24 and Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, were next with 10 noms, but some of the bigger features barely made a mark.>>>Full Nominations List, Snubs And Surprises |
