Overview
- With the BAFTAs set for Feb. 22 at London’s Royal Festival Hall, bookmakers currently favor Chloé Zhao’s Hamnet for best film.
- 'One Battle After Another' leads the BAFTAs with 14 nominations, though analysts suggest Hamnet could capitalize on local voter tastes.
- Oscars prediction pieces position Paul Thomas Anderson’s 'One Battle After Another' as the frontrunner for best picture and a major directing win.
- Ryan Coogler’s 'Sinners' has a record 16 Oscar nominations and is projected as a strong contender in several craft categories.
- BAFTA odds point to Jessie Buckley for leading actress, Timothée Chalamet as a leading-actor possibility, and Stellan Skarsgård with Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas in the supporting races, while 'KPop Demon Hunters' misses BAFTA eligibility due to no U.K. theatrical release.
