'Conclave' And 'Emilia Perez' Top 2025 BAFTA Awards Nominations (2025)

Despite a large number of LA-based members, there was no postponement from the British Academy of Film and Television Arts. The nominees for the 2025 BAFTA Awards were announced at noon local time and, thanks to the public longlists, the films that dominated the field were not unexpected. Edward Berger’s “Conclave” led all films with 12 nominations. Jacques Audiard’s “Emilia Perez” landed 11 nominations while “The Brutalist” earned 10.

Among other contenders, “Anora,” “Dune: Part Two,” and “Wicked” each earned seven nominations, while “A Complete Unknown” took six.

The BAFTAs only nominated five films for Best Film and this year’s crop includes “Conclave,” “Emilia Perez,” “The Brutalist,” “A Complete Unknown,” and “Anora.” This was disappointing news for “Wicked” fans who are hoping the blockbuster musical has a shot at winning the Oscar for Best Picture.

Noteworthy omissions included Angelina Jolie (“Maria”) and Nicole Kidman (“Babygirl”) in Best Actress as well as Pamela Anderson who earned a SAG Award nomination in the same category. Daniel Craig (“Queer”) was also overlooked in Best Actor. That’s somewhat shocking when BAFTA nominates six contenders in the acting categories.

Earlier, BAFTA revealed the nominees for the annual BAFTA Rising Star Award, an honor voted on by the general public now celebrating its 20th anniversary. This year’s contenders include Marisa Abela (“Industry”), Jharrel Jerome (“Unstoppable,” “Moonlight”), David Jonsson (“Alien: Romulus”), Nabhaan Rizwan (“In Camera,” “KAOS”), and Mikey Madison.

The 2025 BAFTA Awards will be handed out on Sunday, February 16. That means with the current Oscars schedule, the winners will be revealed with two days left in The Academy’s voting schedule. The tape-delayed telecast will be hosted by David Tennant for the second year in a row.

This year’s BAFTA Award nominees are as follows:
