Netflix’s wartime epic All Quiet On The Western Front leads the 2023 BAFTA film awards with what new BAFTA CEO Jane Millichip described as an “extraordinary” haul of nominations across craft and performance categories.
The German-language film nabbed 14 nominations, the most BAFTA noms for an individual film since The King’s Speech in 2011, which also had 14.
Millichip, who this year oversees her first Film Awards as BAFTA CEO, said the film’s success represents the “mesmerizing” range of this year’s nominations.
“I think that the breadth of storytelling is really interesting,” Millichip said. “So you have big commercial films like Elvis, which has nine nominations, and then indie films like Aftersun. There is also 40% ethnic diversity in our nominees.”
All Quiet’s haul also matches the previous record set by Ang Lee’s Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon for the most nominations for a non-English language film in BAFTA history, a record that Millichip said marks a distinct shift in the taste of BAFTAs voting body and the influence of streaming on audience viewership.
“The voting members now have no aversion to film not in the English language,” she said. “I think that’s really interesting and something that you probably see mirrored in streaming viewing as well.”
One of the headline takeaways from this year’s nominations list is the amount of diversity in the performance categories. In the leading actress race, Viola Davis picked up her fourth BAFTA nomination for The Woman King, newcomer Danielle Deadwyler is in for Till, and Michelle Yeoh clocked her first BAFTA nomination in 22 years since Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon for Everything Everywhere All At Once.
