Dune Deserts the Competition With 11 BAFTA Nominations

Dune swept the 2022 BAFTAs with a grand total of 11 nominations, excluding acting nods for Timothée Chalamet or Zendaya. The Power of the Dog lagged close behind with eight nominations, followed by Belfast with six, and five for Licorice Pizza, No Time to Die, and West Side Story. Spencer, directed by Paolo Larraín and starring Kristen Stewart as Princess Diana, was unexpectedly snubbed despite (or perhaps because of) BAFTA president Prince William being featured as a supporting character. Despite Dune leading the charge, Denis Villeneuve was missing from the directing category, giving Licorice Pizza’s Paul Thomas Anderson and The Power of the Dog’s Jane Campion their time to shine. The 2022 BAFTA Film Awards take place March 13. Read on for the full list of nominees.
