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.

Conclave leads the pack with 12 nominations, with Netflix's Emilia Pérez – which led the longlists with 15 mentions – close behind with 11 nominations. The Brutalist landed nine nominations, with Anora, Dune: Part Two and Wicked all ending up with seven nominations.

Holy smokes, a film that dramatizes the process to choose a Pope leads the 2024 BAFTA Film Awards. “Conclave” earned 12 nominations, beating out the musical about a drug lord getting gender affirming care, “Emilia Pérez,” which had 11. Period drama “The Brutalist” scored nine nominations.

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.
