    The nominations for the 2018 EE British Film Academy Awards (BAFTAs) were announced today at the BAFTA headquarters in Central London. While there were no real surprises, it was good to see several films ignored by other awards organisations recognised.

    EE British Film Academy Awards
    The Shape Of Water

    Guillermo Del Toro’s strange and fantastical The Shape of Water, about a woman who falls in love with a sea creature, lead the way with 12 nominations, including nominations for Best Film and Best Director. Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri – the story of a woman who takes revenge against the local police for not doing anything about her daughter’s murder, and Darkest Hour – the story of Winston Churchill during and his tenure during WWII, follow with nine each, while film sequel Blade Runner 2049, and war epic Dunkirk, both received eight nominations a piece.

    The nominees for Outstanding British film are the gay Yorkshire romance film God’s Own Country, Lady Macbeth – about a young unhappy bride, Darkest Hour, Paddington 2, Three Billboards and The Death of Stalin. Lady Macbeth is also up for outstanding debut, along with I Am Not a Witch.

    The Shape of Water is nominated for Best Film, Original Music, Cinematography, Production Design, Costume Design, Sound, Editing and Special Visual Effects. Guillermo del Toro is nominated for both Director and Original Screenplay, Sally Hawkins for Leading Actress and Octavia Spencer for Supporting Actress.

    Darkest Hour receives nominations for Best Film, Outstanding British Film, Original Music, Cinematography, Production Design, Costume Design, and Make Up & Hair, as well as Leading Actor for Gary Oldman and Supporting Actress for Kristin Scott Thomas for their roles as Winston and Clementine Churchill.

    Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri is nominated in Leading Actress for Frances McDormand. Sam Rockwell and Woody Harrelson are both nominated for Supporting Actor for their roles. The film is also nominated for Best Film, Outstanding British Film, Cinematography and Editing. Martin McDonagh is nominated for both Director and Original Screenplay.

    The nominations were announced this morning by Natalie Dormer and Letitia Wright at BAFTA’s London headquarters, 195 Piccadilly.

    The EE British Academy Film Awards take place on Sunday 18 February at the Royal Albert Hall, London. The ceremony will be hosted by Joanna Lumley and will be broadcast exclusively on BBC One and BBC One HD. The ceremony is also broadcast in all major territories around the world.
