The Details

Hosted by “The Traitors” favorite Alan Cumming, this year’s awards seems to be more of an open field than previous editions, without a clear juggernaut expected to sweep the board. Paul Thomas Anderson’s “One Battle After Another” leads the pack with 14 nominations — just short of the record of 16 set by “Gandhi” — closely followed ’s “Sinners” with 13.

But just behind, both Chloé Zhao’s “Hamnet” and Josh Safdie’s “Marty Supreme” have 11. Several pundits are suggesting it could be a three-way race between “One Battle,” “Sinners” and “Hamnet” for the top best film award.

Why This Matters

But even before the awards have been handed out, this year’s BAFTAs has already broken records. “Hamnet” is the most nominated film from a female director, while “Sinners is the most nominated film from a Black director. Meanwhile, Leonardo DiCaprio has become the youngest star to reach a record-equalling seven leading actor nominations, having done so at the age of 51.

Entertainment industry insiders have been buzzing about this.

The Bottom Line

Aside from the awards, the BAFTA ceremony will also include a performance of the chart-topping “Golden” from Netflix’s smash-hit animation “Kpop Demon Hunters,” sung by Jae, Audrey Nuna and Rei Ami. See the 2026 BAFTA Film Award winners below, as they’re just dropped.
