BAFTA Awards Nominations “Roma” Seven - “The Favourite” Leads with Twelve

By José Alberto Hermosillo
BAFTA AWARDS
BAFTA, The British Academy of Film and Television Arts, unveils its nominations. Netflix and the producers of the Mexican film “Roma” couldn’t be any happier to have an unprecedented seven nods to the prestigious BAFTA awards for a black & white movie, in Spanish and Mixteco, without movie stars. Greek director Yorgos Lanthimos’ “The Favourite” leads with twelve.

British director Steve McQueen’s “Widows” got only one: Viola Davis, Best Leading Actress. British production “Mary Queen of Scots” got three: Supporting Actress Margot Robbie, Costume Design, and Makeup & Hair.

The British historical comedy “The Favourite” has the most, twelve including four individual nominations for its director Yorgos Lanthimos.

Mexican director Alfonso Cuarón also has six personal nominations including Best Director, Best Editing, Cinematography, Original Screenplay, Best Film, and Best Film Not in English Language (foreign). Also, the Oscar winner Emilio Caballero and Bárbara Enríquez have a Best Production Design nod. That makes a total of seven for Roma.

The American “musical” “A Star is Born” has seven nominations including five personal nominations for Bradley Cooper: Best Film, Director, Actor, Original Music, and Screenplay Adaptation.

Polish international sensation “Cold War” has four nominations, including three personal nods for its director Pawel Pawlikowski (“Ida”).

Paradoxically, the British awards have no British directors nominated for Best Director. This year they chose: Pawel Pawlikowski from Poland, Yorgos Lanthimos from Greece, Alfonso Cuarón from Mexico, and two Americans, Bradley Cooper for “A Star is Born” and Spike Lee for “BlacKkKlansman.”
