BAFTA Nominations are going on right now. Last year, BAFTA was accused of not having enough diversity. So this year. the list is extremely multicultural. Many of the names won’t be known to Americans. The BAFTAs are given out on April 11th. Notably snubbed here is David Fincher’s “Mank.” Netflix poured all their resources into this black and white homage to old Hollywood, but so far SAG and other groups have skipped it.
The other huge snub is Carey Mulligan for Best Actress in Promising Young Woman. She’s British! And a top Oscar candidate. Yikes! Also omitted is Olivia Colman, British, for “The Father.”
