This morning’s BAFTA nominations are strangely inconsistent. They are all over the place, with some Best Directors not directing the Best Picture, and vice versa.

Martin Scorsese and Greta Gerwig didn’t make Best Director. Neither did Yorgos Lanthimos. “Barbie” didn’t make Best Picture. Where is Lily Gladstone for Best Actress? BAFTA was easily impressed by pretentious “Zone of Interest” but had no interest in the first indigenous American actress to win so many prizes. (WTF?) And no Jeffrey Wright or “American Fiction”?

I don’t think the nominees or winners will have much impact on Oscar voting. It’s more of a curio than anything else. Somehow, Ken Loach gets nominated every year for a film no one has heard of. Not all the categories have the same number of nominees.

Remember these are the Brits. Not Americans voting. BAFTA always gives an interesting perspective on how the UK views us. “Barbie” and “Killers” are very American, something the Brits don’t warm to as a rule.
