The 2026 EE BAFTA Film Awards nominations are officially out, and this year’s race is shaping up to be one of the most competitive in recent BAFTA history. Announced in London on Tuesday, One Battle After Another emerged as the frontrunner with 14 nominations, narrowly edging out Sinners, which secured 13 nods.
The result is especially intriguing given that Sinners dominated the Oscars with a record-breaking 16 nominations, while One Battle After Another followed with 13. BAFTA’s choices suggest a far tighter and less predictable awards night ahead.
Close behind the leaders are Hamnet and Marty Supreme, both earning 11 nominations each. Sentimental Value and Frankenstein picked up eight nominations apiece, while Bugonia and I Swear landed five nominations each.
The awards will be handed out at the 79th BAFTA Film Awards on February 22, at London’s Royal Festival Hall, with Alan Cumming hosting the ceremony.
Below is the complete and official list of nominations for the 2026 EE BAFTA Film Awards.
