BAFTA Nominations Out- La La Land, Manchester by the Sea and Moonlight in the running

Awards season went into high gear over the weekend with the announcement of the winners of the Golden Globes and the momentum is staying high as the BAFTA nominees have just been confirmed.

LA LA LAND (opening Friday the 13th) continues to lead the pack with a massive eleven nominations, and it could well sweep the board as it did at the Globes. Other major contenders include Nocturnal Animals and Arrival which both earned nine nods, and Kenneth Lonergan’s MANCHESTER BY THE SEA (opening Friday the 13th) which has six.

I, Daniel Blake (which screened last night at IFI@Belltable) earned five, matched by Hacksaw Ridge and Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them while the highly feted Moonlight earned four.

Our own Ruth Negga is also up for the BAFTA Rising Star award, fresh from her work on projects as diverse as Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD, Preacher and Jeff Nicols’ Loving.

Both La La Land and Manchester by the Sea are coming to the IFI on Friday the 13th of January, and you can book tickets here. Moonlight and Loving will both open in February.

Here’s the main list of nominees at the BAFTAs in 2017. The awards will take place on the 12th of February.
