BAFTA has announced the longlists for this year's awards, Edward Berger's Netflix film All Quiet On The Western Front leads the nominations with 15, closely followed by Martin McDonagh's Banshees Of Inisherin with 14.

Other strong performers in the list include Baz Luhrmann's biopic Elvis and Dan Kwan, Daniel Scheinert's Everything Everywhere All At Once, which are both listed in 12 categories.

BAFTA Film Committee Chair Anna Higgs said: “The publication of the EE BAFTA Film Awards longlist is a very special moment to recognise the wide range of exceptional crafts, performances and productions that make the magic of films a reality. To be Longlisted is a fantastic achievement amidst the phenomenal films released in the last year.
