The official list of nominees for the 2024 BAFTA Film Awards has been unveiled, marking the anticipation of recognizing outstanding performances and honoring the best films of the past year.
Christopher Nolan's "Oppenheimer" leads the nominations, closely followed by "Poor Things" and "Killers of the Flower Moon." The prestigious award ceremony is scheduled for February 18th at the Royal Festival Hall in London's South Bank Center, with exclusive broadcasting on BBC 1 and BBC Player in the UK.
Additionally, the BAFTA Film Awards will be accessible on BritBox International in several countries, including the US, Canada, Denmark, Finland, Sweden, Norway, South Africa, and Australia, with more international broadcasters to be confirmed.
Despite the prominence of American directors in the nominations, the Netflix series by Megan and Harry did not secure a place at the ceremony. Notably, Prince William, the president of BAFTA, is rumored to have been approached by Prince Harry to allow him to attend and preside over the 2024 BAFTA Film Awards, taking advantage of the event's Hollywood attendance.
Sources suggest that Megan Markle sees this as an opportunity to engage with A-list celebrities on the red carpet. If Princess Catherine is not facing health issues, it is expected that she would attend the awards ceremony with William.
In a reported turn of events, Prince William is likely to miss the BAFTA Film Awards and other engagements to support his wife during her recovery from successful abdominal surgery. Kensington Palace revealed that Prince William will be by his wife's side throughout her treatment and immediate recovery, postponing several engagements, including the BAFTA Awards.
As the patron of the Welsh rugby team, William may miss Six Nations games next month, with Prince Harry possibly stepping in his place. Last year, Prince William attended the BAFTAs, but this year, due to family priorities, he may have to skip the event. Recently, Prince Charles, without Kate, met rugby legend Rob Burrow to present him with his CBE.
