BAFTA 2018 nominations announced

After the Golden Globes were handed out, now comes the next major event for awards season, the BAFTAs.

The EE British Academy Film Awards mominations for 2018 largely follow suit with The Shape of Water, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, Dunkirk and Darkest Hour all well represented.

The winners will be announced at the ceremony on 18th February at the Royal Albert Hall, London, with Joanna Lumley assuming host duties from long-time host Stephen Fry, who stepped down this year. We can’t wait to see what Joanna Lumley has in-store for audiences – she’s a great choice to lead the 2018 BAFTAs.

The EE Rising Star Award, voted for by the public, looks to be very interesting this year with Daniel Kaluuya (Get Out), Florence Pugh (Lady Macbeth), Josh O’Connor (God’s Own Country), Timothée Chalamet (Call Me By Your Name) and Tessa Thompson (Thor: Ragnarok) all having a successful 2017.

Check out the list of nominees for the 2018 BAFTA Awards.
