All Quiet on the Western Front leads 2022 BAFTA Film Awards nominations

Another year, another opportunity for the British Academy to disappoint. Edward Berger's All Quiet on the Western Front makes good on 14 of its 15 longlistings to lead the nominations for the 2022 BAFTAs. It's an astonishing performance, and the best in BAFTA's history for a non-English language movie. It's not the movie's fault, though, that it ousts many worthy alternatives... it's BAFTA's fault. Women Talking is shunned, there's only one woman up for Best Director, and I wonder if I'll ever get over their assertion that All Quiet's costume design is stronger than Black Panther: Wakanda Forever's. Shame on them. The EE BAFTA Film Awards will be presented on 19 February.
