Bafta 2023 nominations: full list of Film Award nominees

Front runner: All Quiet on the Western Front - Netflix
Front runner: All Quiet on the Western Front - Netflix

Tom Cruise, suspicious minds and Irishmen hurling bloody fingers at each other: 2022 was an exceptional year for cinema. Elvis, Top Gun: Maverick and Matilda affirmed – if it ever was in doubt – the sheer communal joy of the big screen post-Covid.

Meanwhile, the indie darlings proved their mettle. Charlotte Wells’s debut Aftersun, which starred Normal People’s Paul Mescal as a young father adrift on a Turkish beach holiday, was a hammering emotional punch. And Sebastián Lelio’s The Wonder and Kazuo Ishiguro-penned Living had a distinctly British poignancy.

The biggest surprise of the Bafta nominations list, though, is the storming success of Netflix’s All Quiet on the Western Front. A German-language adaptation of Erich Maria Remarque’s scalding WWI novel, it has 14 nominations – the most ever for a Netflix production, and the most for a foreign language film since Ang Lee’s 2000 Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Other high-flyers include Martin McDonagh’s peat-black comedy Banshees of Inisherin and Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert’s brain-mangling multiverse sci-fi Everything Everywhere All At Once, which have 10 each. Elvis isn’t far behind on nine.

This year’s Baftas will be hosted by the actor Richard E Grant, of Withnail and I fame, and will take place on 19 February at the Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall in London. The show will air on BBC One and BBC iPlayer from 7pm-9pm on the same day.
