Overview
Paul Thomas Anderson's One Battle After Another received 14 nominations for the EE BAFTA Film Awards, the most of any film, BAFTA said ahead of the Feb. 22, 2026 ceremony in London.
Ryan Coogler's Sinners earned 13 BAFTA nominations after securing a record 16 Oscar nods, and industry analysts said BAFTA results are often watched as indicators for the March 15, 2026 Academy Awards.
Sara Putt, BAFTA chair, said in a statement that she was "thrilled" to see British indie films and debuts nominated alongside global blockbusters and highlighted recent voting changes to increase diversity.
BAFTA nominees include Hamnet and Marty Supreme with 11 nods each and Sentimental Value with eight, and BAFTA said winners are chosen by 8,500 members, a figure some reports contest as 8,300.
The winners will be announced Feb. 22, 2026 at London's Royal Festival Hall hosted by Alan Cumming, and the Academy Awards follow on March 15, 2026, offering a comparison point for industry observers.
