New Delhi:
The British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) has unveiled the longlists for the 2025 BAFTA Film Awards, with two major contenders taking the lead: Jacques Audiard’s Emilia Perez and Edward Berger’s Conclave.
Both films have earned prominent spots across multiple categories, with Emilia Perez receiving an impressive 15 longlist nominations.
The 15 nominations for Emilia Perez span several categories, including Best Film, Best Director for Jacques Audiard, Adapted Screenplay, Film Not in the English Language, and Leading Actress for Karla Sofia Gascon.
The film also earned recognition in the Supporting Actress category, with Selena Gomez, Zoe Saldana, and Adriana Paz all appearing on the longlist.
This achievement ties the record set by Edward Berger’s All Quiet on the Western Front (2022) and was matched last year by Oppenheimer, Barbie, and Killers of the Flower Moon.
Not far behind, Conclave received 14 nominations, including Best Film, Best Director for Edward Berger, and acting nods for Ralph Fiennes (Leading Actor), Stanley Tucci (Supporting Actor), and Isabella Rossellini (Supporting Actress).
Other films gaining traction in this year’s longlists include Mubi’s The Substance, which earned 11 nominations, and Brady Corbet’s The Brutalist, along with A Complete Unknown, the Bob Dylan biopic, which also garnered 11 mentions.
Additionally, Wicked and Dune: Part Two each secured 10 spots on the longlist.
