LONDON (AP) — The papal thriller “Conclave” has taken the lead in the British Academy Film Awards race with nominations in 12 categories, one more than the musical 'Emilia Perez.' The recent wildfires in Los Angeles have cast a somber tone over the industry, with BAFTA acknowledging the impact before announcing the nominations.
The BAFTA ceremony is scheduled for Feb. 16 at the Royal Festival Hall in London, hosted by David Tennant. The five films nominated for the best film award include “Conclave,” “Emilia Perez,” “The Brutalist,” “Anora,” and “A Complete Unknown.”
