The Favourite leads BAFTA nominations

12 category charge for Lanthimos' costume drama

Oliva Colman in The Favourite, which has 12 nominations

The Favourite continued its awards nominations run, as BAFTA announced its shortlist this morning - appearing in 12 categories, including Best Film and Best British Film.

Bohemian Rhapsody, First Man, Roma and A Star Is Born also had strong showings, with seven nominations each.

The Favourite, which saw star Olivia Colman take home a Golden Globe earlier this week, tells the story of a rivalry between two of Queen Anne's acolytes. It has already proved a success at the UK box office, taking £2.2 million in its opening weekend (£3.97m including previews).

Colman is joined by other British names in the acting nominees categories, Steve Coogan, Christian Bale, Claire Foy, Rachel Weisz and Richard E Grant, getting his first BAFTA nod. Others receiving their first BAFTA competitive nominations include Spike Lee, whose BlacKkKlansman is in the running for Best Film, Director and Screenplay. Roma director Alfonso Cuarón becomes the most nominated director in a single year, appearing in six categories.

Notable absences from this year's nomination list include Steve McQueen's Widows, which sees only one nod for star Viola Davis, and Lynne Ramsay's You Were Never Really Here - which only appears in the Best British Film category.
