The British Academy of Film and Television Arts or BAFTA are set to take place at London's Royal Albert Hall on Sunday evening (Monday morning in India). The Favourite, directed by Yorgos Lanthimos, is a favourite for BAFTA success as it leads nomination with 12 nods. Actress Olivia Colman is nominated for Leading Actress for her role as Queen Anne while Rachel Weisz and Emma Stone are both nominated for Supporting Actress. Bohemian Rhapsody (which unexpectedly won the Best Film Golden Globe award) and A Star Is Born will compete in seven categories along with First Man and Roma.
Bohemian Rhapsody director Bryan Singer's name was removed from the list of credits by the BAFTA members after sexual harassment allegations against him featured in headlines.
Here are nominations in key categories for the 72nd edition of BAFTA, often dubbed as the British Oscars:
