The surprises - and snubs - from the full list of 2025 BAFTA nominations
The 2025 BAFTA nominations have arrived, and while the shorlist includes a number of industry predictions and fan favourites, there are also some notable titles missing. The final nods include a staggering 11 nominations for Emilia Pérez, and Cynthia Erivo (Wicked) is in the running for the Leading Actress award.
However, following the release of the 2025 BAFTA longlist earlier this month, some of the biggest films and stars of the last twelve months didn't quite make it into the final nominations. In the Outstanding British film category, We Live In Time and Paddington in Peru failed to top the list, while Nicole Kidman's performance in Babygirl went amiss in the Leading Actress category. Although Demi Moore is up for the Leading Actress award, her The Substance co-star Margaret Qualley has missed out on a Supporting Actress nomination, and the movie was taken out of the running for Best Film.
Take a look below for the full list of the 2025 BAFTAs nominations.
