BAFTA 2026 nominations

The 2026 BAFTA nominations were announced by 2025 Rising Star nominee David Jonsson and Aimee Lou Wood on Tuesday.

Days after its success at the Academy Award nominations, One Battle After Another earned the most nods with 14, including one for lead star Leonardo DiCaprio.

Sinners is just behind with 13 nods whilst Marty Supreme and Hamnet scored eleven each. Frankenstein and Sentimental Value each earned eight whilst there was five nominations for I Swear and Bugonia and three nominations for The Ballad of Wallis Island, Pillion and F1.

The five movies up for Best Film are Hamnet, Marty Supreme, One Battle After Another, Sinners and Sentimental Value.

Hamnet, Chloe Zhao's adaptation of Maggie O'Farrell's award-winning novel about the family life of William Shakespeare, has broken the record for the most nominations for a female-directed film in BAFTA history.

The winners will be announced on Sunday February 22 at the EE BAFTA Film Awards ceremony, which will air on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.

rish star Jessie Buckley is adding to her awards season roster with a nod for her lead role in Hamnet after already scoring a Golden Globe and a Critics Choice Award and nominations for the Academy Awards and Screen Actors Guild Awards earlier this month.

Also vying for the Leading Actress BAFTA are Rose Byrne for If I Had Legs I'd Kick You; Kate Hudson for Song Sung Blue; Chase Infiniti for One Battle After Another; Renate Reinsve for Sentimental Value and Emma Stone for Bugonia.

Jessie's Hamnet co-star Paul Mescal was snubbed at the Oscar nominations but he has earned a Supporting Actor BAFTA nod, competing against Benicio Del Toro for One Battle After Another; Jacob Elordi for Frankenstein; Petter Mullan for I Swear; Sean Penn for One Battle After Another and Stellan Skarsgard for Sentimental Value.

Leonardo DiCaprio could earn his second ever BAFTA after scoring his seventh nomination, this year for his Leading Actor performance in the already heavily decorated movie One Battle After Another.

The star goes head to head with his 2026 awards season foe Timothee Chalamet for Marty Supreme as well as Robert Aramayo for I Swear, Ethan Hawke for Blue Moon, Michael B Jordan for Sinners and Jesse Plemons for Bugonia.

There's hopes for a British win in the Supporting Actress field as Nigerian-British Sinners star Wunmi Mosaku competes alongside Carey Mulligan for The Ballad Of Wallis Island and Emily Watson for Hamnet.

Rounding out that category is Odessa A'Zion for Marty Supreme, Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas for Sentimental Value and Teyana Taylor for One Battle After Another.

First time nominees in the performance categories who have received their first BAFTA Film nomination are; Robert Aramayo, Odessa A'zion, Rose Byrne, Chase Infiniti, Michael B. Jordan, Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas, Stellan Skarsgård, and Teyana Taylor.
