BAFTA 2026: 'One Battle After Another' Leads with 14 Nominations

Follwing Tuesday's announcement, Paul Thomas Anderson directorial political satire 'One Battle After Another' leads the BAFTA nominations with 14 nods overall, just two shy of the record set by 'Gandhi' and leveling with 'All Quiet on the Western Front,' 'Atonement,' 'The King's Speech' and 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon,' reported Variety.

Ryan Coogler directorial Sinners closely follows Leonardo's film with 13 nominations providing the first trip for the director and actor Michael B Jordan to BAFTA's as nominees.

Just below, 'Hamnet' and 'Marty Supreme' both came away with 11 nominations, with Timothee Chalamet returning to BAFTA's leading actor race for a second year in a row.

With 'Hamnet', the director Chloe Zhao's film now has the highest number of BAFTA nominations from a female director, reported Variety.

According to the recent award shows, 'One Battle After Another,' 'Sinners,' 'Hamnet' and 'Marty Supreme' are all in the five-strong best film category at BAFTA, alongside 'Sentimental Value' which also gives Stellan Skarsgard his very first BAFTA nominations at the age of 74.

Local indie titles "I Swear," "Pillion" and "The Ballad of Wallis Island" made good on their promising showings at the longlist stage, muscling their way out of the outstanding British film category into other key awards -- including leading actor in the case of "I Swear" star Robert Aramayo. All three films also made it into the screenplay categories.

As for the snubs, Jacob Elordi's 'Frankenstein' landed eight nominations but didn't make best film or director, while "Wicked: For Good" scored two for costume and makeup & hair.

Indian indie film 'Boong', co-produced by Farhan Akhtar has also secured nominated in the category of Children's and Family Film at BAFTA. The movie is directed by Lakshmipriya Devi.
