Barbie and Oppenheimer up for top gongs

Andrew Scott, Greta Gerwig, Leonardo DiCaprio and Lily Gladstone are among the surprising omissions from the Bafta film nominations.

Irish actor Scott had been widely tipped for recognition from the British academy for his moving performance in the drama All Of Us Strangers, an adaptation of Taichi Yamada’s 1987 novel Strangers.

Scott’s co-stars Claire Foy and Paul Mescal were both recognised, as was director Andrew Haigh, whose screenplay was also nominated, while the movie received a nod for outstanding British film.

Barbie filmmaker Gerwig was a conspicuous omission from the best director category, where only one woman was nominated – Justine Triet for Anatomy Of A Fall.

The film also did not make the cut in the best film category, despite nods for stars Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling and for Gerwig’s screenplay, which she wrote with husband Noah Baumbach.
