BAFTA Unveils Longlists For 2022 Film Awards - BILLIE EILISH: THE WORLD’S A LITTLE BLURRY
By Tom Grater
Deadline
January 12, 2022
BAFTA has unveiled the longlists across all categories for its 2022 Film Awards. Scroll down to see them in full.
These lists have been compiled via Round One of BAFTA’s voting. Round Two, which determines the nominations, opens on January 14 and closes on January 27.
The Rising Star Award nominations will be announced on February 1. The full nominations will then be unveiled February 3. Round Three, to determine the winners, runs February 9 – March 8. The 2022 BAFTA Film Awards take place March 13, with a physical ceremony planned.
The below field paints a wide picture of the films participating in the current awards campaign, and gives a moment in the sun to a handful of titles that may not make the final cut for nominations.
While drawing conclusions from the below lists in regards to the likely winners is largely a guessing game, a few notable takeaways include: Spider-Man: No Way Home is entirely absent despite its healthy momentum in the race to the Oscars, a fact we revealed to you on Monday – this is due to Sony opting not to meet BAFTA’s deadline for uploading to its streaming service.
Elsewhere: No Time To Die appears on 12 lists, could that portend to a healthy set of nominations for Daniel Craig’s final outing?; further blockbusters, such as Marvel’s Eternals and Shang-Chi, or Warner Bros’ The Matrix: Resurrections, were restricted to a handful of technical lists; other titles that are well represented today include Belfast, The Power Of The Dog, and Don’t Look Up.
A few titles that made the cut for Outstanding British Film but not Best Film: Spencer, Cyrano and Passing. Palme d’Or winner Titane, a relatively surprising absence from the Oscar International Film longlist, is present for BAFTA.
In total, 97 films made the lists versus 94 last year, and around a third of them are British this time out.
The split between streamer titles and those from traditional distributors plus the studios also appears to be re-balancing. Netflix was far head of the rest of the nominations field in 2021, attracting 34, will its dominance recede in 2022?
