Denis Villeneuve's sci-fi epic Dune leads the 2022 British Academy Film Awards nominations with 11.
The movie adaptation of Frank Herbert's epic, starring Timothee Chalamet, Rebecca Ferguson and Oscar Isaac, topped the nominations when they were announced in London on Thursday.
Dune received nods for Best Film, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Original Score for Hans Zimmer, and Best Special Visual Effects, among a range of other technical categories.
Dune was followed by Jane Campion's The Power of the Dog with eight, Kenneth Branagh's coming-of-age film Belfast with six, then Licorice Pizza, No Time to Die, and West Side Story with five each.
The sci-fi blockbuster will compete with Belfast, The Power of the Dog, Don't Look Up, and Licorice Pizza for the Best Film prize, while the nominees for Outstanding British Film are No Time to Die, Belfast, After Love, Ali & Ava, Boiling Point, Cyrano, Everybody's Talking About Jamie, House of Gucci, Last Night in Soho, and Passing.
The Leading Actress shortlist threw up some surprises, with snubs for frontrunners Kristen Stewart, Nicole Kidman, and Olivia Colman. The race is between Lady Gaga for House of Gucci, Alana Haim for Licorice Pizza, Emilia Jones for CODA, After Love's Joanna Scanlan, Passing's Tessa Thompson, and Renate Reinsve for Norwegian film The Worst Person in the World.
In the Leading Actor category, British stars Adeel Akhtar and Stephen Graham made appearances for their respective indie films Ali & Ava and Boiling Point, joining award season favourites Will Smith for King Richard, Benedict Cumberbatch for The Power of the Dog, Mahershala Ali for Swan Song, and Leonardo DiCaprio for Don't Look Up.
