There has been talk of a "huge shake up with diversity" at the BAFTA’s after last year’s backlash when not one actor of colour was nominated and the lack of female directors. This year, four out of the six nominees in each of the acting categories are from ethnic minority backgrounds and four of the nominated directors are women, while three are also nominated for best film not in the English language.

The biggest surprise for some this year has been within the acting categories, where many of the predicted nominees have missed out on this year's nominations including Viola Davis, Carey Mulligan, Amanda Seyfried, Sacha Baron Cohen, Olivia Colman, Glenn Close and Gary Oldman. 

Krishnendu Majumdar, Chair of BAFTA, commented: “We are delighted to see the strength of British film shine through in all categories. After last year’s nominations, we started the BAFTA Review process with the intention of levelling the playing field and introduced a range of measures to ensure that all entered films were seen by our members and judged on merit."

It does beg the question: What was the process before? Were all entered films not seen by members and not judged on merit?

The winners will be announced at a ceremony without a live audience on 11 April.
