BAFTA 2026: One Battle After Another Leads Noms, Wicked Snubs
The 2026 BAFTA nominations crown One Battle After Another with 14 nods, while Wicked: For Good misses acting categories; Leonardo DiCaprio ties a record as the awards approach.
The 2026 BAFTA nominations were announced on Tuesday, Jan. 27, with One Battle After Another leading the pack with 14 nods and Sinners close behind with 13. Hamnet and Marty Supreme follow with 11 each, while the field also recognizes other contenders in the Best Picture race ahead of the ceremony in London.
Wicked: For Good was notably snubbed in acting categories, with Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo missing out, and Amy Madigan also left out of Supporting Actress. The snubs come as the BAFTAs highlight a year with overlap across the Oscars and other acting prizes.
The ceremony is set for Feb. 22 at London's Royal Festival Hall on the Southbank, hosted by Alan Cumming, who will guide the evening's honors.
Leonardo DiCaprio added to his record by earning his seventh BAFTA Best Actor nomination, tying a group that includes Daniel Day-Lewis, Michael Caine and Laurence Olivier, and becoming the youngest to reach seven nominations in the category.
As nominees are announced ahead of the Oscar season, the BAFTA lineup demonstrates a competitive, wide-open field this year, with strong showings for both prestige dramas and genre titles. The event's outcomes will shape conversations across awards season.
