The British Academy of Film and Television Arts is the British equivalent of the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences. And like the Academy, every year BAFTA holds their version of the Academy Awards. Monday the origination announced their nominees for this year’s show. Typically, these nominees include specific categories steered towards British films, but I have not included those categories in this list.
