BAFTA nominations 2025: Netflix movies lead the chart. Check full list

Netflix movies have headlined the BAFTA nominations 2025. 'Conclave' and "Emilia Perez" on Wednesday led the shortlist of films battling for recognition at Britain's BAFTA awards, as the race for Oscars glory gathers pace.

'Conclave', a fictionalised account of high-stakes horse-trading in the Vatican after the death of a pope, earned 12 nominations while surreal narco-thriller musical "Emilia Perez" followed close behind with 11.

Both will compete for the coveted best film award at next month's ceremony, alongside Cannes favourite "Anora", Bob Dylan biopic "A Complete Unknown" and epic immigrant drama "The Brutalist", which notched up nine nominations.


Hit musical "Wicked", which last week topped the nominations for the influential Screen Actors Guild Awards, and "Dune: Part Two" were the other leading BAFTA contenders, with seven nods each.

Unexpected hit "Kneecap", a docu-fiction about three Belfast upstarts who rap in the Irish language, racked up six nominations, including for original screenplay, outstanding British film and casting.

It has been longlisted for two Oscars, with the announcement of the final Academy Awards nominations delayed for a second time to January 23 due to the devastating wildfires gripping Los Angeles.

This year's awards season is seen as highly unpredictable, with an international crop of movies all considered plausible contenders for success on Hollywood's biggest night on March 2.

The BAFTAs, the highlight of the annual British film calendar, will this year be held two weeks earlier, on February 16, at London's Royal Festival Hall and hosted by Scottish actor David Tennant.

French director Jacques Audiard's Mexico-set "Emilia Perez" and "The Brutalist" will be strong contenders after both were the big winners at the Golden Globes earlier this month.

The director award pits Audiard against Edward Berger ("Conclave"), Sean Baker ("Anora"), Brady Corbet ("The Brutalist") Denis Villeneuve ("Dune: Part Two") and Coralie Fargeat ("The Substance").

German-born Berger claimed a BAFTA two years ago with his adaptation of "All Quiet on the Western Front", while France's Fargeat is the only woman nominated in the directing category.
