After facing a backlash over the lack of diversity among the nominees at the 2020 BAFTAs, the British Academy took significant steps—including introducing a long listing process for each category, which is led by experts in the field—to ensure that a wider range of films would be considered for its highest honours in the future. Over the past two years, this move has yielded more inclusive and eclectic nominations lists, with the likes of Clemency’s Alfre Woodard, Judas and the Black Messiah’s Dominique Fishback, Rocks’s Bukky Bakray, The White Tiger’s Adarsh Gourav, and Passing’s Tessa Thompson and Ruth Negga being recognised for performances that were ignored by the US’s Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
However, it should be acknowledged that the ultimate winners, particularly in the acting categories, have been more conventional choices, and have lined up almost exactly with that of the Oscars (with the notable exception of Joanna Scanlan who, last year, took home the BAFTA for Best Actress for After Love, in a category where the eventual Oscar winner, Jessica Chastain, wasn’t nominated).
So, will the 2023 ceremony bring surprises or anoint frontrunners as we head into the final weeks of awards season? Browse the full list of winners, below.
