Joker leads 2019 BAFTA nominations
BAFTA sure aren't joking around with their 2019 film award nominations! Todd Phillips' Joker, which has been somewhat sporadic in its presence so far this awards season, makes its big entrance on the scene as a serious player with 11 BAFTA nods, more than any other movie this year. Right behind it are The Irishman and Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood with 10 each.
Between this, its strong showing at various guild award nominations, and its Golden Globes success, Joker now takes its place as one of the leading Oscar contenders; even if the critics have payed it dust, industry voters are taking to the movie with gusto. It's one of many typically ugly qualities to this year's BAFTA nominations, including no women nominated for Best Director, and a full 20 acting slots occupied by white performers, echoing the #OscarsSoWhite controversy of a few years back.
The BAFTAs will take place this year on the 2nd of February, exactly one week before the Oscars.
