The British Academy of Film and Television Arts have announced the nominees for the 2017 BAFTAs, and, as expected, "La La Land" dominates with a total of 11 nominations, including Best Film. "Arrival" and "Nocturnal Animals" follow with 9 nods each, the latter also being the biggest surprise on this list since its critical reception wasn't overwhelmingly positive. The other Best Film nominees are "I, Daniel Blake", "Manchester by the Sea" and "Moonlight".
Ken Loach's drama "I, Daniel Blake", the Harry Potter spinoff "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", and the true story dramas "Hacksaw Ridge" and "Lion", all scored five nominations each. Barry Jenkins' "Moonlight", considered a major frontrunner for the Oscars, only received four nods, tied with Stephen Frears' "Florence Foster Jenkins".
Surprisingly, or not if you've been following the awards season so far, Martin Scorsese's religious epic "Silence" was snubbed once again. Clint Eastwood's "Sully" shares a similar fate. Both films started out as major contenders, but quickly fell out of the race by missing out on all the major awards.
Another film that is absent is Paul Verhoeven's "Elle", but the reason it missed out on being nominated is because it doesn't open in the UK until March. It will probably be nominated next year, just like Oscar winner "Son of Saul", which wasn't eligible last year, but received a nomination this year.
The BAFTAs also included box-office behemoths "Rogue One" and "Doctor Strange". The films share two nominations each for Make Up/Hair and Visual Effects, and the latter also received a third nomination for Production Design.
The British Academy Film Awards will be announced at a ceremony hosted by Stephen Fry on February 12th.
