Papal thriller “Conclave” leads the race for the British Academy Film Awards, with nominations in 12 categories, just ahead of the genre-busting musical “Emilia Perez" with 11.

“Conclave” and “Emilia Pérez” lead this year’s BAFTA Film Awards nominations, heading up a diverse mix of talent and titles in a competition where, for the first time in years, there’s no clear favorite in any of the major categories.

Anora, The Brutalist, Conclave and Emilia Perez also scored best director nominations this morning for Sean Baker, Brady Corbet, Edward Berger and Jacques Audiard. They are joined in the category by Dune: Part Two director Denis Villeneuve and The Substance filmmaker Carolie Fargeat.
