The British Film category is equally stacked, with titles ranging from 28 Years Later and Die My Love to Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy and Steve.
In the performance categories, Jessie Buckley (Hamnet), Chase Infiniti (One Battle After Another) and Emma Stone (Bugonia) lead the Best Actress field, while Leading Actor features Robert Aramayo (I Swear), Timothée Chalamet (Marty Supreme) and Leonardo DiCaprio (One Battle After Another).
Supporting categories include turns from Odessa A’zion (Marty Supreme), Carey Mulligan (The Ballad of Wallis Island), Benicio del Toro (One Battle After Another) and Paul Mescal (Hamnet).
The Best Director lineup spans global heavyweights and indie favourites, with Yorgos Lanthimos (Bugonia), Chloé Zhao (Hamnet), Josh Safdie (Marty Supreme), Paul Thomas Anderson (One Battle After Another), Joachim Trier (Sentimental Value) and Ryan Coogler (Sinners) all recognised.
The EE BAFTA Rising Star Award – the only category voted for by the public – features Robert Aramayo, Miles Caton, Chase Infiniti, Archie Madekwe and Posy Sterling.
The winners of the 79th EE BAFTA Film Awards will be announced on February 22.
Jane Millichip, CEO of BAFTA, said: “Huge congratulations to the teams behind the 46 superb films nominated today. They showcase the very best of storytelling and its ability to engage, entertain and provoke debate. This year’s nominated films are full of bold storytelling and exquisite craft. And the breadth of narrative, genres and styles is spellbinding. Whether newcomers or veterans, I hope our first-time nominees enjoy this much deserved spotlight, and I look forward to welcoming them and all our returning nominees to London. As the UK’s leading arts charity and academy, it’s a real privilege to showcase this year’s brilliant films and the talent in the 79th EE BAFTA Film Awards, which will be broadcast on BBC, BBC iPlayer, and across the world on 22 February.”
Sara Putt, Chair of BAFTA, added: “Across the 2026 EE BAFTA Film Awards nominations it is thrilling to see British indie films and debuts in the company of blockbusters that have taken the world by storm. It’s an exceptional year for bold, original storytelling. Behind these films are thousands of hard-working crews who have worked tirelessly to bring them to life – the quality and craftsmanship on display is filmmaking at its best. We hope the public enjoy watching these films as much as our 8300 BAFTA film voters have.”
