BAFTAs 2021: the nominations in full

The BAFTAs have unveiled a notably diverse list of nominations for the 2021 awards, with Sarah Gavron’s coming-of-age drama Rocks and Chloé Zhao’s Nomadland emerging as frontrunners with seven nominations each.

Gavron and Zhao are among the record number of four women nominated in the best director category. 

Rocks, which was backed by the BFI Film Fund, also received nominations for leading actress for Bukky Bakray, supporting actress for Kosar Ali and outstanding British film. 

The Father, Mank, Minari and Promising Young Woman each follow with six nominations.

Other films with BFI backing receiving nominations include Limbo (for outstanding British film and outstanding debut), Saint Maud (outstanding debut) and Ammonite (costume design). The BFI has also supported the releases of Minari, Sound of Metal (four nominations) and Les Misérables with National Lottery money. 

Two films distributed by the BFI are nominated: Mogul Mowgli for outstanding British film and County Lines for best supporting actress for Ashley Madekwe.

The EE Rising Star award, which is voted for by the public, includes nods for County Lines’ Conrad Khan, Rocks’ Bukky Bakray and Saint Maud’s Morfydd Clark.

Nominated films that first screened to UK audiences at the BFI London Film Festival include Nomadland, Rocks, Saint Maud, Mogul Mowgli, County Lines, Another Round, Soul, Wolfwalkers, Ammonite and Limbo.
