Nominations for the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) Film Awards are in, with Conclave and Emilia Pérez leading this year's nominees. Conclave, starring Ralph Fiennes, is up for 12 awards,

The nominations for the 2025 BAFTA Film Awards have been revealed. "Conclave," the Edward Berger-directed film starring Ralph Fiennes, which centers on the death of a pope and the election of a new one, is the most-nominated film of the year with 12 nominations.

Holy smokes, a film that dramatizes the process to choose a Pope leads the 2024 BAFTA Film Awards. “Conclave” earned 12 nominations, beating out the musical about a drug lord getting gender affirming care, “Emilia Pérez,” which had 11. Period drama “The Brutalist” scored nine nominations.

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.

The Ralph Fiennes and Stanley Tucci-led film, based on the novel by Robert Harris, leads the way with 12 BAFTA nominations — ahead of Emilia Pérez ‘s 11 and The Brutalist ‘s nine, as unveiled by actors Will Sharpe and Mia McKenna-Bruce from the British Academy’s headquarters in London mid-day on Wednesday.

"Conclave" receives 12 nominations for the BAFTA Film Awards, followed by "Emilia Perez" with three. The British Oscars will be held Feb. 16.

Announced on Wednesday by last year’s BAFTA Rising Star winner Mia McKenna-Bruce and Will Sharpe, star of “The White Lotus” (and also a BAFTA TV award winner in 2020), the nominees have been selected following two rounds of voting by BAFTA members.
