BAFTAs 2023: ‘All Quiet On The Western Front’ leads nominations

The nominations have been announced for this year’s BAFTAs – with All Quiet On The Western Front leading the pack.

The devastating anti-war epic is this year’s frontrunner with a staggering 14 nods including best director, best film, supporting actor and adapted screenplay. As The Guardian notes, it means it is tied with Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000) as the film with the most nominations not in the English language.

It debuted on Netflix last year and was praised for being a faithful adaptation of Erich Maria Remarque’s 1929 novel, highlighting the futility and brutality of life in the Trenches during the Great War.

The film was narrowly trailed by Martin McDonagh’s The Banshees of Inisherin, a wry and dark look at life in a rural Irish village during the 1920s. It secured ten nods, including leading actor for Colin Farrell, best director for McDonagh and best supporting actor for both Brendan Gleeson and Barry Keoghan.

You can take a full look at this year’s nominees below. This year’s ceremony will be hosted by Richard E. Grant and Alison Hammond, taking place at London’s Royal Festival Hall in the Southbank Centre on February 19.
