The UK’s 2020 BAFTA Film Awards nominations were announced today and immediately slammed by Marc Samuelson, chairman of BAFTA’s film committee: “Clearly everybody knows that everybody in the four acting groups of nominees are white, it’s infuriating, we can’t make the industry do something, all we can do is encourage and push and inspire and try to help people coming in at the bottom end.”
Added BAFTA chief executive Amanda Berry about the lack of gender diversity: “Being totally honest, we are disappointed and that is not to take anything away from the people who have been nominated. We do have 13 directors nominated who are females across other categories… and this is what gives me joy and hope actually, six female directors in the shorts category and that is the category where we are really seeing talent at the start of their career and they are the industry of the future, but we are going to do more, we are not going to stop pushing.”
The main winners in terms of nominations were Joker with 11 nominations, and The Irishman and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood with 10 each, and Sam Mendes’ 1917 with 9.
