This is great for Aftersun, Good Luck To You, Leo Grande, Blue Jean and Living. I  think the latter especially will play really well with BAFTA and they will seriously push Nighy for that Oscar nom. Really excited to see Blue Jean.

I think it was on the shortlist. But I’m not sure.

When I read that they had nominated Good Luck to You, Leo Grande for best feature but snubbed Thompson and McCormack in the leading performance category I got so perplexed but then I saw they were nominated for best joint lead performance and honestly I think that’s better because they’d probably stand a better chance of winning that than winning the lead performance category over Nighy. Had this category been in place last year then Carrie Coon and Jude Law could have both won for The Nest which would have been much better than one of them winning and the other not (which could have very well happened because Joanna Scanlan was practically unbeatable last year whilst Adeel Akhtar wasn’t so much) or both losing.

God’s Creatures got exactly what it deserved. Films that are just simply ok but have note-worthy performances tend to vary in how they perform here either getting ignored completely because of the film’s limitations or undeservingly over-performing because they have excellent performances behind them but BIFA pretty much nailed it here. I wouldn’t mind if they threw Watson a win although I’m rooting for Nighy till the very end. Mrs Harris Goes to Paris performed exactly as I expected it to but it would have been nice to see Manville show up here nonetheless.

I assume Banshees was eligible but it just couldn’t be seen on time for voting like with Spencer last year.

Someone asked Guy Lodge on Twitter about it -he was chair of the nomination committee- and he said it was ineligible.

This seems like the best possible outcome for a lot of these contenders that will need strong BAFTA support (Nighy, Thompson, Mescal). They all have chances to get highlighted here, and this was clearly a big endorsement of their films.

I think it’ll be very interesting here to see which of Aftersun and Living wins best film. BIFA tends to really grant towards sweeps which makes me think that if Nighy’s winning Lead performance that Wood will win supporting but with them not directly facing the Aftersun leads (who could very well take the joint lead performance category) it’s going to be very interesting to see what the path whatever best film winner takes.

It’s really hard for me to tell. On paper, it still seems like Living might be the stronger all-around player? Plus it’s trading on much more highbrow source material. But if appreciation for Charlotte Wells and overall love for Paul Mescal win out, Aftersun could make the case here.

I still think Living has a lot more to gain if it does win. I’d have to reconsider its chances in Adapted Screenplay at the Oscars, which I’ve been a bit hesitant to do just yet.
