BAFTA 2026: Timothee's 'Marty Supreme' goes empty-handed after securing record 11 nominations

Timothee Chalamet's Oscar contender 'Marty Supreme' was surprisingly shut out at the BAFTA Awards, joining a rare list of films with 11 nods and zero wins.

"In one of the night's biggest shocks, Chalamet lost to Robert Aramayo - Variety"

London, February 23

Timothee Chalamet's 'Marty Supreme' may have ignited the American dream in his viewers, but at BAFTA, it all went to nought. In one of the huge surprises, prime Oscar contender Marty Supreme left the British Academy Awards empty-handed after being shut out, following a healthy 11 nods at the nominations stage.

The film entered the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) with formidable nomination strength and broad expectations of converting in at least a handful of categories, particularly for leading actor Timothee Chalamet, who picked up major stops this season at the Critics' Choice Awards and the Golden Globes in January.

In one of the night's biggest shocks, Chalamet lost to Robert Aramayo from Kirk Jones' Tourette's drama movie, 'I Swear.'

With this disappointing night ahead of the Oscars, the film has joined movies including 'Women in Love' (1969) and 'Finding Neverland' (2004) as the only films to go winless with 11 nominations at BAFTA, reported Variety.

Notably, both of those titles still went on to win a single Oscar on their respective nights: Glenda Jackson for best actress ("Women in Love") and Jan A.P. Kaczmarek for original score ("Finding Neverland"), reported Variety.

Despite the BAFTA setback, 'Marty Supreme' remains a formidable player at the Oscars 2026. Before this, an Oscar-winning film 'Everything Everywhere All at Once' managed only one BAFTA win (film editing) before going on to take seven Oscars, including best picture, director and three acting prizes.

The moving drama 'Moonlight' (2016) also went without a single BAFTA win that year, losing all four of its awards, before pulling off a historic upset in best picture at the Oscars.

At BAFTA, 'Marty Supreme' was nominated for best film, director, leading actor (Chalamet), supporting actress (Odessa A'zion), casting, original screenplay, production design, cinematography, costume design, film editing and makeup and hairstyling.

At the Oscars, the film is nominated for nine, but misses BAFTA nominations for supporting actress, makeup and hairstyling.

Final Oscar voting runs from February 26 to March 5. The 98th Oscars will be held on March 15 on ABC, hosted by Conan O'Brien.

As an Indian film buff, this reminds me of our own award shows sometimes. The most popular film doesn't always win. Quality over popularity, perhaps? Robert Aramayo winning over Chalamet is a huge statement. Respect to BAFTA for recognizing what they felt was truly the best performance. 👏

The article mentions 'Everything Everywhere All at Once' and 'Moonlight'. This could actually be a good omen for 'Marty Supreme'! BAFTA snub might mean Oscar glory. The Oscars have a different voting body. Fingers crossed for Timothee, he's a brilliant actor.

While I feel for the team, awards aren't everything. The film connected with audiences, which is the real win. The 'American dream' narrative might not resonate as strongly with British or international juries compared to American ones. Cultural context matters in awards.

Honestly, good. Maybe this will stop the media from declaring winners months in advance. The awards season has become so predictable. This surprise makes it exciting again! More power to the underdogs. Now I'm curious to watch 'I Swear'.

A bit of a reality check, but the Oscars are the big one. All this does is add more drama to the final race. Can't wait for March 15th! Conan O'Brien hosting should be fun too. 🎭
