‘Saint Maud,’ ‘Nomadland,’ ‘Ammonite’ Among Leading Films on BAFTA Awards Longlist

“Saint Maud,” “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom,” “Nomadland,” “The Trial of the Chicago 7” and “Ammonite” are among the leading films on the British Academy of Film and Television Arts’ (BAFTA) longlist for annual British Film Awards that were announced Thursday.

The publication of the longlists follows the BAFTA 2020 Review, where over 120 wide-ranging changes were introduced across voting, membership and campaigning to address a lack of diversity in the 2020 Film Awards nominations. As part of these changes, a new longlisting initial round was introduced for the awards, resulting in three rounds of voting. Round one voting, which took place from Jan. 12-26, produced the longlists in all categories.

The directing category sees the BAFTA make an effort towards gender parity. To determine this longlist, in Round One, the directing chapter voted and the top eight female and top eight male directed films were automatically longlisted. The remaining two female and two male directors were voted for by a longlisting jury, who have considered the next 10 ranking female and male directed films.

Round Two of voting will open Feb. 19 and close March 1. Nominations will be announced March 9. Round Three of voting commences March 25 and closes April 7. The BAFTA Awards will take place Apr. 11.
