Bafta nominations 2023 – live: Film world reacts to awards announcement

All the nominated films, actors and directors – as they’re revealed

'Wonderful' the majority of Bafta Rising Star nominees are women, says Sheila Atim

The Bafta nominations have been announced in London.

The nominees were revealed by Hayley Atwell and Ted Lasso actor Toheeb Jimoh during a live press conference at 12pm on Thursday (19 January).

This year’s Baftas, which are taking place in the UK’s capital city on 19 February, will be presented by Richard E Grant and Alison Hammond, three weeks before the Oscars.

Films in contention include current favourites The Banhees of Inisherin, Everything Everywhere All at Once and Cate Blanchett film Tár.

Netflix’s German-language war film All Quiet on the Western Front, though, surpassed the favourites to become the most-nominated film.

Actors that were named included Michelle Yeoh (Everything Everywhere All at Once), Austin Butler (Elvis), Brendan Fraser (The Whale) and Banshees of Inisherin stars Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson.
