“La La Land” looks on course to make yet more movie history after receiving 11 nominations for the 2017 Bafta film awards in London Tuesday.
The Hollywood musical, which won all seven categories in which it was nominated at the Golden Globe awards, is up for Best Film, Original Music, Cinematography, Editing, Production Design, Costume Design and Sound.
Damien Chazelle is nominated for both Director and Original Screenplay and Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone for Leading Actor and Leading Actress.
“La La Land” swept the board at the Golden Globe awards, winning best motion picture — musical or comedy, best director, best screenplay, best score and acting awards for its stars.
But it will face fierce competition from “Arrival and “Nocturnal Animals”, which both received nine nominations as well as “Manchester by the Sea” which has six.
Best film
While “La La Land” will be the leading contender, there’s also a home favorite in the mix for the Best Film award.
“I, Daniel Blake” directed by Ken Loach, who is also up for Best Director, is a UK welfare state drama which won plaudits throughout the industry.
Sci-Fi thriller “Arrival” is also in contention as well as “Moonlight” and “Manchester by the Sea”.
Leading ladies
“La La Land’s” leading lady Emma Stone is up for Leading Actress but she’ll have a fight on her hands to land the award.
Meryl Streep, who was at the center of attention for her outburst against President-elect Donald Trump on Sunday, is nominated for her role in “Florence Foster Jenkins”.
Natalie Portman is also in contention for her performance in “Jackie”, as is Emily Blunt in “The Girl on the Train” and Amy Adams in “Arrival”.
Main man
The Leading Actor category promises to be a fierce battle with Ryan Gosling aiming to pick up another gong for his performance in “La La Land”.
He’s up against Casey Affleck, who has been praised for his performance in “Manchester by the Sea”, while Jake Gyllenhaal in “Nocturnal Animals”, Andrew Garfield in “Hacksaw Ridge” and Viggo Mortensen in “Captain Fantastic” are also in the hunt.
Supporting stars
Jeff Bridges will go up against Hugh Grant for the Supporting Actor award.
Bridges, who plays Marcus Hamilton in “Hell or High Water” , is nominated along with Grant, for his performance in “Florence Foster Jenkins”.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson in “Nocturnal Animals” is also on the shortlist alongside Dev Patel in “Lion” and Mahershala Ali in “Moonlight”.
In the Supporting Actress award, Nicole Kidman will be hoping to triumph following her showing in “Lion”.
She’s up against Michelle Williams in “Manchester by the Sea”, Naomie Harris in “Moonlight”, Hayley Squires in “I, Daniel Blake” and Viola Davis, who won the Golden Globe for her role in “Fences”.
