BAFTA Awards have revealed the list of nominations

BAFTA (British Academy of Film and Television Arts) awards have announced the list of nominations with a notable inclusion and diversity backgrounds that the UK’s prestigious Cinema Event hasn’t ever had before. Last year, BAFTA faced a backlash for a lack of diversity among its nominees. The professionals behind the British Film Awards learned from their mistakes and made big changes following a seven-month review, including the introduction of a long-list system in a bid to increase viewership of all the submitted films, and increasing all four acting categories and the best director category to six nominees.

This years, more than half of the 24 nominees in the acting categories are from ethnic minority backgrounds, including Daniel Kaluuya for “Judas and the Black Messiah” and Bukky Bakray for “Rocks.” Four women were nominated in the director category, including “Nomadland” director Chloé Zhao – who recently became the first woman of Asian descent and second woman ever to win this year Golden Globe Awards for Best Director.
