La British Academy of Film and Television Arts (Bafta) ha annunciato le nomination per quelli che sono considerati gli Oscar inglesi. Considerati da sempre (insieme ai Golden Globes) antesignani proprio degli Academy Awards, a dominare le nomination sono Il Ponte delle Spie di Steven Spielberg e Carol di Todd Haynes, che hanno ottenuto nove candidature. A ruota con otto nomination, segue The Revenant, davanti a Mad Max: Fury Road con sette nomination. Brooklyn e The Martian si sono fermati a sei nomination, mentre La Grande Scommessa, The Danish Girl ed Ex Machina ne hanno ottenute cinque. Star Wars – il Risveglio della Forza è stato il protagonista delle categorie tecniche con quattro nomination. La premiazione si terrà il 14 febbraio alla Royal Opera House di Londra.
Per quanto rigarda l’Italia in corsa per vincere un Bafta ci sono: Ennio Morricono per la colonna sonora di The Hateful Eight di Quentin Tarantino e Pietro Scalia per il montaggio di Sopravvissuto – The Martian di Ridley Scott
