One Battle After Another tops 2026 BAFTA nominations

One Battle After Another is the top contender at this year's BAFTA Film Awards with 14 nominations.

Paul Thomas Anderson's critically acclaimed comedy-drama led the charge when the nominations were announced by Aimee Lou Wood and David Jonsson in London on Tuesday afternoon.

The movie was shortlisted for categories including Best Film, Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay for Anderson, Best Leading Actor for Leonardo DiCaprio, Best Leading Actress for Chase Infiniti and supporting nods for Benicio del Toro, Sean Penn and Teyana Taylor.

One Battle After Another is closely followed by Ryan Coogler's supernatural thriller Sinners with 13, and then Hamnet and Marty Supreme with 11, and Frankenstein and Sentimental Value with eight.

All of those films, except for Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein, are up for Best Film, while the ten nominees for Outstanding British Film are 28 Years Later, The Ballad of Wallis Island, Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy, Die My Love, H is for Hawk, Hamnet, I Swear, Mr Burton, Pillion and Steve.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Chloe Zhao's Hamnet is officially BAFTA's most-nominated film by a female director ever.

In the Leading Actor category, DiCaprio is up alongside Robert Aramayo (I Swear), Timothée Chalamet (Marty Supreme), Ethan Hawke (Blue Moon), Michael B. Jordan (Sinners) and Jesse Plemons (Bugonia).

Meanwhile, Infiniti's competition in the Leading Actress race includes Jessie Buckley (Hamnet), Rose Byrne (If I Had Legs I'd Kick You), Kate Hudson (Song Sung Blue), Renate Reinsve (Sentimental Value) and Emma Stone (Bugonia).

Infiniti and Aramayo are also nominated for the EE Rising Star Award, the only category voted for by the public, alongside Miles Caton, Archie Madekwe and Posy Sterling.
