2024 EE BAFTA Film Awards Longlists Announced for February Ceremony

Hours after announcing David Tennant as their host, the Longlists were announced for the 2024 EE BAFTA Film Awards.

BAFTA announced the longlists of films and talent that have gone through to Round Two of voting for the 2024 EE BAFTA Film Awards. Round Two voting kicks off today; and will determine the nominations, to be unveiled via global livestream on January 18 at 12pm (GMT) from BAFTA’s 195 Piccadilly HQ in London. Round Three of voting will determine the winners. They will be announced on February 18 from the Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall in London, as part of an unmissable celebration of film hosted by David Tennant.

There is some noticeable crossover between the Longlists and the previously announced Oscar Shortlists. However, I’ll be curious to see if they follow the Academy in moving Barbie to Adapted Screenplay. As if Barbie and Oppenheimer are not already tied enough to each other!

BAFTA Film Committee Chair, Anna Higgs, said: “The publication of the EE BAFTA Film Awards longlists is one our favourite dates in the awards season calendar – it’s a moment that inspires film fans around the world to watch more movies and join in the conversation about who should be nominated for a BAFTA. Today we are shining a light on 69 incredible films that BAFTA voters have the difficult task of whittling down to the final nominees list.  I encourage everyone to go see these films and make their own minds up. Huge congratulations to those longlisted today, it’s an extraordinary achievement and a testament to the phenomenal talent in our industry.” 

The nominations for the EE BAFTA Film Awards will be announced by former EE Rising Star nominees Naomi Ackie and Kingsley Ben-Adir on Thursday January 18 at 12 midday (GMT), from the arts charity’s HQ at 195 Piccadilly, London and streamed live on @BAFTA YouTube and Twitter.

The EE BAFTA Film Awards will be broadcast on Sunday 18 February, on BBC One and iPlayer in the UK, and on BritBox International in USA, Canada, Denmark, Finland, Sweden, Norway and South Africa. With more international territories to be confirmed.
