BAFTA — the British Academy — announced their first round of voting this morning for movie awards. They went big time for “Anora,” “Emilia Perez,” and “Conclave.”
Shockingly, Angelina Jolie didn’t make the cut for the 10 best actress nods. Jolie plays the title role of Maria Callas in “Maria,” and is nominated for a Golden Globe Award this Sunday. She’s also nominated for a Critics Choice Award which will be revealed next Sunday, January 12th.
Snubbed with a twist: Pamela Anderson didn’t make it as Best Actress, but her “Last Showgirl” co-star Jamie Lee Curtis made it in as Best Supporting Actress.
Also almost completely cut out of the BAFTAs: is “Gladiator II” from Brit, Ridley Scott. Only Denzel Washington got a nod for Best Supporting Actor. Pedro Almodovar’s “The Room Next Door,” with Julianne Moore and Tilda Swinton, was also omitted.
The second and final round of nominees will be announced on January 15th. The BAFTAs are handed out on February 16th in London.
Some nice surprises, though: Ellen Kuras was nominated for Best Director for “Lee,” as was star Kate Winslet. Saorise Ronan in “The Outrun” made the lists as well as the film itself.
