The nominations for the 2024 EE BAFTA Film Awards, celebrating the very best in film over the past year have been announced with Oppenheimer leading the way with thirteen.

A total of 38 films received nominations with films from across multiple genres and platforms.

Jane Millichip, CEO of BAFTA, said: “The 38 films nominated by BAFTA voters today span an extraordinary range of genres and stories.

“The field this year is incredibly strong. More films were entered, making the selection process particularly tough for our voting members.

“The films and talented people nominated represent some of the most talked about films of the year, the most critically acclaimed, and films yet to be released and discovered by audiences.

“With a month to go until the EE BAFTAs on 18 February, we encourage film fans everywhere to watch as many nominated films as possible and find out more about the people who make them by listening to our new official podcast, Countdown to the BAFTAs, which is available widely on podcast platforms from today.”
