Genre-bending comedies ‘The Banshees of Inisherin’ and ‘Everything Everywhere All At Once’ have each been nominated under 10 categories
Visceral World War I German-language drama “All Quiet on the Western Front” got a field-leading 14 nominations on Thursday for the British Academy Film Awards, with genre-bending comedies “The Banshees of Inisherin“ and “Everything Everywhere All At Once” each nominated in 10 categories.
“All Quiet on the Western Front,” an unflinching adaptation of a classic antiwar novel about life and death in the trenches, is up for awards including best film and best director, for Edward Berger. Its tally of nominations is the highest ever for a film not in the English language.
Martin McDonagh’s Irish tragicomedy “The Banshees of Inisherin” has nominations including best picture, best director and best actor, for Colin Farrell. Nominations for the madcap metaverse adventure “Everything Everywhere All At Once” include nods for co-directors Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert — known jointly as “the Daniels” — and a best-actress nomination for Michelle Yeoh.
Baz Lurhmann’s flamboyant musical biopic “Elvis” is up for nine awards, including best picture.
The BAFTAs are Britain’s equivalent of Hollywood’s Academy Awards. The winners will be announced on February 19 at a ceremony in London. The nominations help cement “The Banshees of Inisherin” and “Everything Everywhere All At Once” as awards-season favourites, following momentum-building wins at the Golden Globes and multiple nominations for the Screen Actors Guild Awards,
The BAFTA best-picture nominees are “All Quiet on the Western Front,” “The Banshees of Inisherin,” “Elvis,” “Everything Everywhere All at Once” and Todd Field’s symphonic psychodrama “Tár.”
The 10 nominees for outstanding British film, a separate category, include Charlotte Wells’ 1990s family drama “Aftersun,” Sam Mendes’ semi-autobiographical “Empire of Light” and Sophie Hyde’s smart sex comedy “Good Luck to You, Leo Grande."
