A little more than 24 hours after winning Golden Globe Awards for directing and music, Guillermo del Toro’s “The Shape of Water” has become the most nominated film from the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA), which announced its 2018 nominees on Tuesday morning in London.
The film will compete with “Call by Your Name,” “Darkest Hour,” “Dunkirk” and “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri” in the Best Film category at the EE British Academy Film Awards, which will take place on Feb. 18 at Royal Albert Hall in London.
“The Shape of Water” received 12 nominations, three more than runners-up “Darkest Hour” and “Three Billboards.” “Blade Runner 2049” and “Dunkirk” received eight each, while “I, Tonya” received five, and “Call Me by Your Name” and “Phantom Thread” received four each.
Greta Gerwig’s “Lady Bird” did not land a nomination in the best film, best director or best original screenplay categories, a disappointing showing for the film that on Sunday night was named the year’s best comedy by Golden Globe voters.
In the acting categories, the 6,500 BAFTA voters opted for a full slate of Oscar contenders, including Saoirse Ronan and Laurie Metcalf (“Lady Bird”), Sally Hawkins and Octavia Spencer (“The Shape of Water”), Gary Oldman (“Darkest Hour”), Allison Janney and Margot Robbie (“I, Tonya”) and Frances McDormand, Sam Rockwell and Woody Harrelson (“Three Billboards”). But they also threw in some offbeat choices — including, in the supporting-actor category, Hugh Grant for “Paddington 2.”
Since the Oscars expanded the number of Best Picture nominees in 2009, 36 of the 40 BAFTA Best Film nominees have gone on to receive Oscar nominations, and five of the eight winners have also won the Oscar for Best Picture.
But the three exceptions came in the last three years, with “Boyhood,” “The Revenant” and “La La Land” winning at BAFTA while “Birdman,” “Spotlight” and “Moonlight” won at the Oscars.
Last year, in the 17 categories that overlap between BAFTA and the Academy, about 62 percent of the BAFTA nominees went on to receive Oscar nominations.
Joanna Lumley will host the show, with Stephen Fry stepping down after 12 years as BAFTA host. Cirque du Soleil, which will be in residence at Royal Albert Hall during the time that the BAFTAs are taking place, will perform a special piece created for the ceremony.
