Stars of the silver screen will gather in London on Sunday for the annual BAFTA awards, often an indicator of Oscars glory, with "Oppenheimer" in the running for an unrivalled 13 awards.
Christopher Nolan's epic movie about the creation of the atomic bomb, which has grossed more than $1 billion, has already won big at the Golden Globes and Critics Choice Awards, and is the clear frontrunner to sweep the board at next month's Oscars. At Sunday's BAFTAs, the highlight of the British film year, the blockbuster is nominated for best film, for Nolan (director and adapted screenplay), as well as for Emily Blunt (supporting actress) and Robert Downey Jr. (supporting actor).
