One Battle After Another Leads BAFTA 2026 Noms; Sinners Close Behind
BAFTA 2026 nominations crown One Battle After Another with 14 nods, while Sinners follows with 13 as Hamnet and Marty Supreme notch 11 each.
BAFTA 2026 nominations are out, and Paul Thomas Anderson’s politically charged One Battle After Another is leading the pack with 14 nominations, including acting nods for five of its cast. Ryan Coogler’s blues-soaked vampire epic Sinners is close behind with 13 nominations, while Chloé Zhao’s Shakespearean family tragedy Hamnet and Josh Safdie’s ping-pong odyssey Marty Supreme each score 11. The Best Film lineup includes One Battle After Another, Hamnet, Marty Supreme, Sinners, and Sentimental Value, signaling a wide-open race come February.
The leading actor race features Robert Aramayo for I Swear, Timothée Chalamet for Marty Supreme, Leonardo DiCaprio for One Battle After Another, Ethan Hawke for Blue Moon, Michael B. Jordan for Sinners, and Jesse Plemons for Bugonia. On the women’s side, Jessie Buckley is nominated for Hamnet, while Rose Byrne earns a nod for If I Had Legs I’d Kick You, Kate Hudson is recognized for Song Sung Blue, Chase Infiniti for One Battle After Another, Renate Reinsve for Sentimental Value, and Emma Stone for Bugonia.
In supporting categories, Teyana Taylor, Benicio del Toro, and Sean Penn receive nominations. The winners will be announced at a February 22 ceremony in London, hosted by Alan Cumming. It’s worth noting that the Oscars announced nominations first this year, with Sinners scoring a record 16 nominations at the Academy Awards, underscoring how BAFTA often sets the stage for Hollywood’s big night and offers a glimpse into potential Oscar outcomes.
