Nominations for the 2018 BAFTA Awards were announced today, with The Shape of Water leading with nominations in 12 categories. Darkest Hour and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri both received nine nominations, while Blade Runner 2049 and Dunkirk both have eight. I, Tonya received five nominations, Call Me by Your Name and Phantom Thread have four each, and Film Stars Don’t Die in Liverpool, Lady Bird and Paddington 2 received three nominations each.

In addition to their Leading Actor nominations, Daniel Kaluuya and Timothée Chalamet are nominated for the EE Rising Star Award. Their fellow nominees, announced last week, are Tessa Thompson, Florence Pugh and Josh O’Connor. This audience award is voted for by the British public and presented to an actress or actor who has demonstrated exceptional talent and has begun to capture the imagination of the UK public. Florence Pugh and Josh O’Connor both star in films nominated this year (Lady Macbeth and God’s Own Country, respectively).

The nominations were announced this morning by Natalie Dormer and Letitia Wright at BAFTA’s London headquarters, 195 Piccadilly.

The EE British Academy Film Awards take place on Sunday, February 18 at the Royal Albert Hall, London. The ceremony will be hosted by Joanna Lumley and will be broadcast exclusively on BBC One and BBC One HD. The ceremony is also broadcast in all major territories around the world.
