‘Nomadland,’ ‘Rocks’ Lead 2021 BAFTA Awards Nominations

Even across the pond, Nomadland is surging to the front of the pack of the awards race. Chloé Zhao‘s exquisite road drama has raked up the most nominations at this year’s BAFTA Film Awards, alongside Sarah Gavron‘s British drama Rocks. With these two films leading the 2021 BAFTA Awards nominations, the British awards ceremony is looking to have a historic year in diversity, just one year after it faced its own #BAFTAsSoWhite scandal.

With seven nominations each, Nomadland (which scored nods in best director, adapted screenplay, leading actress, cinematography, editing and sound categories) and Rocks (outstanding British film, outstanding debut by a British writer, director or producer, best director, original screenplay, leading actress, supporting actress and casting) are shaping up this year’s BAFTA to be its most diverse yet. For the first time in BAFTA history, four women have been nominated in the director category. Meanwhile, three of the nominated directors are also up for best film not in the English language.

Following closely behind Nomadland and Rocks are The Father, Mank, Minari, and Promising Young Woman with six nominations each, while The Dig and The Mauritanian both received five nods. Overall, a total of 50 films earned nominations at this year’s BAFTA Awards, up from 39 last year, according to Variety. It’s part of an encouraging push to support new talent, which is reflected in this year’s incredibly diverse slate.

This year’s BAFTA Awards will take place in two two separate shows airing on April 10 and 11, broadcast virtually out of London’s Royal Albert Hall.
