The Bafta nominations for 2026 are set to be announced in London one week after the Oscar nods were revealed.
On Tuesday (27), the nominated films, actors, directors and writers will be named by David Jonsson and Aimee Lou Wood during a live press conference.
This year’s Baftas, which are taking place in the UK’s capital city on 22 February, will be presented by actor and Traitors US host Alan Cumming.
Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another, British film I Swear and vampire film Sinners, which amassed a record-breaking 16 Oscar nominations last week, are expected to lead this year’s nominations.
The only category that was announced ahead of the official line-up was the Rising Star award, nominees for which include Archie Madekwe (Lurker), Chase Infiniti (One Battle After Another), Miles Caton (Sinners), Posy Sterling (Lollipop), and Robert Aramayo (I Swear)

One Battle After Another, meanwhile, was branded a “ferocious masterpiece”...
One Battle After Another is a ferocious masterpiece – review
Hamnet is set to be a big contender this year; here’s what our reviewer thought of it:
Oscar-primed Hamnet isn’t as manipulative as its critics claim – review
Could Kate Hudson be in line for another nomination? Her nod at the Oscars certainly caused a stir the other day...
Longlist for Best Film
10:30 , Louis ChiltonThe list of 10 Best Film contenders, from which five will make today’s nominations list.

- Jacob Elordi, Frankenstein
- Delroy Lindo, Sinners
- Paul Mescal, Hamnet
- Peter Mullan, I Swear
- Sean Penn, One Battle After Another

- Andrew Scott, Blue Moon
- Alexander Skarsgård, Pillion
- Stellan Skarsgård, Sentimental Value

Previous winners include Tom Holland, Daniel Kaluuya, James McAvoy and Chiwetel Ejiofor.
What the Oscar nominations tell us about the Baftas
08:20 , Jacob StolworthyThe Oscar 2026 nominations were announced last week and, as there’s overlap with the voting bodies, it might give you a hint at what way the Baftas will (or won’t) go today.
Pleasant surprises from Bafta longlist
08:06 , Jacob StolworthyWe already know what might be getting nominated today thanks to Bafta’s decision to release a longlist for each category.
The loveliest inclusions? Robert Aramayo for his performance in the fantastic I Swear (my personal favourite film of 2026), Andrea Riseborough and Brenda Blethyn for domestic horror film Dragonfly and every mention of sweet-as-heck comedy The Ballad of Wallis Island.
When and where are the Baftas being held?
07:41 , Jacob StolworthyThis year’s ceremony will see Hollywood film talent amass once again at the Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall in London on 22 February.
The two stars announcing the Bafta noms
07:40 , Jacob StolworthyDavid Jonsson (Alien: Earth, The Long Walk) and Aimee Lou Wood (Sex Education, The White Lotus) have been recruited to announce the nominations.
What time are the nominations announced?
07:39 , Jacob StolworthyThis year’s Bafta nods will be announced at 12pm GMT as part of a live press conference streamed from Bafta HQ.
This year's Baftas host is...
07:38 , Jacob StolworthyAlan Cumming! The X-Men actor and Traitors US host said of his appointment: “How exciting to be back in the Bafta fold, this time hosting the EE Bafta Film Awards, a night like no other when we celebrate and honour creativity and craftsmanship – and also hopefully have a laugh and create some mischief as we do so!”
