Papal thriller “Conclave” leads the race for the British Academy Film Awards, with nominations in 12 categories, just ahead of the genre-busting musical “Emilia Perez" with 11.

In 2023, Berger’s World War I drama All Quiet on the Western Front picked up 14 BAFTA nominations, equaling the record for a non-English-language film first set by Ang Lee’s wuxia masterpiece Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon . It also ended up with seven wins, including for best film.

“Conclave” and “Emilia Pérez” lead this year’s BAFTA Film Awards nominations, heading up a diverse mix of talent and titles in a competition where, for the first time in years, there’s no clear favorite in any of the major categories.
