The (Somewhat Surprising) BAFTA Nominations Are Here
The 2018 BAFTA nominations were announced this morning, and the lineup's somewhat surprising: Jordan Peele's Get Out pulled in less nominations than we expected, Denis Villeneuve's Blade Runner 2049 was shown more love than we predicted, and Steven Spielberg's The Post was shut out (perhaps that one'll receive more attention from the Academy). It's all very interesting!
Here's the complete list of nominees, via Deadline:
