Awards season is in full swing, albeit slightly altered (and, in the case of the Oscars 2021, postponed) due to the pandemic.

Things kicked off in February with the Golden Globes, which saw big wins for Borat 2 and Nomadland, but also came under fire for omitting Michaela Coel's series I May Destroy You. The EE BAFTA Film awards are next, with the nominees for the British awards ceremony officially confirmed.

Both Borat's sequel and Nomadland are up for BAFTAs awards too. Nomadland is nominated in seven categories, including Best Film, Best Director (Chloé Zhao) and Best Actress (Frances McDormand). Borat's Maria Bakalova is nominated in the Supporting Actress category alone.

The EE Rising Star award sees Kingsley Ben-Adir and Morfydd Clark each receiving a nod.

Netflix has an impressive presence among the nominees too, with Rocks, His House and The Dig featuring heavily across all categories. Even the streamer's adaptation of Rebecca gets a nod for its production design.

The winners will be announced during a live ceremony on 11th April where Ang Lee will also be awarded BAFTA Fellowship. Due to the ongoing pandemic, the ceremony will not have a live audience.

The full list of BAFTA Film 2021 Nominations are below.
