BAFTA Longlists Include The Batman, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and Doctor Strange 2

The longlist has been released for the The British Academy Film Awards, and it includes a number of nominations for comic book and genre films. As you might expect, the technical categories are more weighted toward that kind of movie, but even in other categories, movies like The Batman, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, and Everything Everywhere All At Once earned some attention. Netflix's All Quiet On the Western Front scored the most nominations with 15, followed by Banshees with 14. Everything Everywhere All at Once and Elvis both have 12 spots on the list. Top Gun: Maverick managed to grab eight.

The Batman scored mentions for cinematography, makeup and hair, original score, production design, sound, and special visual effects. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever earned a nod for Angela Bassett, as well as mentions for costume design, makeup and hair, and special visual effects.

Everything Everywhere All at Once lands on the list for best film, director (technically directors, for The Daniels), original screenplay, leading actress (Michelle Yeoh), supporting actress (Jamie Lee Curtis), supporting actor (Ke Huy Quan), casting, editing, original score, production design, special visual effects, and sound.

In the special visual effects category, almost every movie is a genre favorite, excepting All Quiet on the Western Front. The other nominees include Avatar: The Way of WaterThe Batman, Black Panther: Wakanda ForeverDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Everything Everywhere All at Once, Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore, Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio, Jurassic World Dominion, and Top Gun: Maverick. 69 films were submitted for consideration, with ten voted on by the SVFX chapter of the Academy.
