BAFTA Film Awards 2024 Nominations Revealed
The anticipation for the upcoming 2024 BAFTA Film Awards is at its peak as the complete list of nominations has been unveiled.
These prestigious awards are poised to recognize outstanding performances and applaud the finest movies released over the past year.
Leading the pack with the highest number of nominations is Christopher Nolan's “Oppenheimer,” setting the stage for potential triumphs this year.
Following closely behind are “Poor Things” and “Killers of the Flower Moon,” also emerging as top contenders in multiple categories.
Scheduled to take place on February 18, the awards ceremony will be held at the illustrious Southbank Centre's Royal Festival Hall in London.
Audiences in the UK can catch the exclusive broadcast on BBC One and BBC Player.
Moreover, the BAFTA Film Awards will be accessible to viewers across various countries through Britbox International, including the US, Canada, Denmark, Finland, Sweden, Norway, South Africa, and Australia, with more international broadcasters yet to be confirmed.
While numerous films by American directors secured spots on the nomination list, the absence of the Meghan and Harry Netflix series came as a surprise.
This means that Prince Charles will not be in attendance at the BAFTA event, given that the President of BAFTA is Prince William.
Speculations have surfaced that Prince Harry has requested William to allow him to participate and oversee the 2024 BAFTA Film Awards, especially in light of Prince Charles' focus on royal duties amid Catherine and King Charles facing health challenges.
Sources suggest that this initiative stems from Meghan Markle.
The star-studded BAFTA event is expected to draw A-list celebrities from Hollywood, presenting an ideal opportunity for networking on the red carpet.
If not for Princess Catherine's health concerns, she would have accompanied William to the awards ceremony.
Recent reports from the Daily Mail indicate that Prince William is likely to skip the BAFTAs and other commitments to stand by his wife's side as she recuperates from abdominal surgery.
The Princess of Wales underwent a successful operation and is currently receiving medical care in the hospital.
In a statement released by Kensington Palace, it was disclosed that Prince Charles will remain devoted to supporting his wife and children during this period, refraining from official engagements.
Consequently, he has postponed several upcoming events, including the BAFTAs on February 18, as well as the commencement of the Six Nations tournament in two weeks and various charitable activities.
Notably, William, who serves as the patron of the Welsh rugby team, is expected to miss the forthcoming Six Nations matches.
The Six Nations Championship is set to kick off with a match between France and Ireland on February 2nd at the Orange Velodrome in Marseille.
Subsequent games featuring England versus Italy in Rome and Wales against Scotland in Cardiff are not on the agenda for the Prince and Princess of Wales.
Additionally, William's planned investitures for January and February will be deferred, with Prince Hassan likely to fill in for him.
