Baftas 2021 full nominations list announced

Every film, actor and director in contention for trophies

The 2021 Bafta nominations have been announced.

With awards season in full swing, it was the turn of British voters to unveil the films in the running for trophies at the next high-profile ceremony on the calendar.

Leading the pack with seven nominations each are Nomadland and Rocks followed by The Father, Mank, Minari and Promising Young Woman, which all have six.

This year’s nominations are the first since a “watershed” seven-month investigation into the lack of diversity at the 2020 nominations.

Led by chair Krishnendu Majumdar, Bafta introduced more than 120 changes to its voting, membership and campaigning process including a new long-list round of voting and the addition of two extra nominees for each acting category.

Typically, the Baftas take place in February but the ceremony was delayed due to the pandemic.

The event will now take place on 11 April, a fortnight before the Oscars.
