The 2025 BAFTA nominations have been announced, with Conclave securing the most nods. The Ralph Fiennes-led drama was nominated in 12 categories, including Best Director, Best Film, and Leading Actor. Close💧ly following in number of nominations was Emilia Perez, whi♏ch secured 11 in total.

Dune 2 got some recognition with Denis Villeneuve nominated for Best Director, alongside Anora's Sean Baker, The Brtualist's Brady Corbet, Conclave's Edward Berger, Emilia Perez's Jacques Audiard, and The Substances' C🌸oralie Fargeat.

However, it couldn't secure a 𝄹Best Film nomination and was snubbed alongside horror favorite The Substance in that category. Anora, The Brutalist, A Complete Unknown, Conclave, and Emilia Perez were all nominated. Another omission was Denzel Washington for his buzz-worthy performance in Gladiator 2.
