The list of films nominated for the Bafta was announced this Wednesday January 15. First taste before the Oscars.
The list of films nominated for the Baftas was announced this Wednesday, January 15, giving a first taste of that of the Oscars. The papal thriller “Conclave” and the French musical comedy by Jacques Audiard “Emilia Pérez” are in the lead, with twelve and eleven nominations respectively. “The Brutalist” – nearly four-hour fresco in which Adrien Brody plays the role of László Tóth, a Holocaust survivor architect – is named nine times. The Palme d’Or “Anora” is nominated seven times, like the musical “Wicked”.
These nominations give a trend before those of the Oscars and confirm the favorite status of “Emilia Perez”, big winner of the Golden Globes where he won four awards in early January. This musical fresco on the gender transition of a Mexican drug trafficker, awarded at Cannes and broadcast on Netflix, is notably nominated in the best film category, best foreign language film, best director for Jacques Audiard and best actress for Karla Sofía Gascón ( who is among our six women of the year 2024).
