It’s one of my favorite times of the year, award season, and now that both the BAFTA nominations and Oscars shortlist have been revealed, the race is officially on for the biggest movies of the year. While both lists have a lot of crossover, for me, the BAFTAs are the ones getting things right.
As well as a record-breaking 16 Oscar nods, Ryan Coogler’s Sinners racked up 13 BAFTA nominations, joining One Battle After Another (14) and Marty Supreme (11) as the most-nominated movies of the year. But there were two performances, one each from the latter movies, that were unrecognized by the Academy and I’m struggling to find forgiveness.
