Just after the Golden Globe Awards were presented, the British Academy of Film and Television announced its nominees, and surprisingly, who leads the pack with no less than 11 nominations is the superhero movie "Joker."

Todd Phillips' controversial movie, which brings out the origin story of Batman's iconic rival, received nominations in the Best Film category, in the Director category, and in the actor category. Remember, "Joker" grabbed over $ 1 billion at the box office, won the grand prize at the recent Venice Festival, and earlier this week Joaquin Phoenix also picked up the best player award at the Golden Globe Ceremony for his impressive performance in the lead role.

Immediately after "Joker" you can find two films with ten nominations each. These are "There Were Hollywood Times," by Quentin Tarantino, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt, and Martin Scorsese's "Irish" gangsters epic, both of which were important nominees in the film and director category.

The acclaimed "1917" war film by Sam Mendes, which surprised his competitors at the Golden Globe Awards as he picked up the Best Dramatic Film Award and the Director's Award, recorded nine nominations (including in the film and director categories), and the Juju Rabbit satire ”, Of Taika Wattiti, picked no less than six nominations.

Three films - the drama comedy "Marriage Story", the period drama "Little Women" and the comic drama "Pope" - won five nominations, while three others - "Rocketman", "Parasites" and the documentary "For Sama" - received four nominations each .

Renee Zellweger, who won the Golden Globe in the actress category for her appearance in the biography drama "Judy," will get a chance to recreate the feat and improve her chances of winning an Oscar as well.

Among the contestants who can complain about deprivation can be Greta Gervig, the screenwriter-director of "Little Women," who was no longer nominated in the director category, her partner Noah Baumbach, who did not win nominations in the director and film category, and "Irish" star Robert de Niro , Who remains outside the list of nominees in the actor category, while his friends Al Pacino and Joe Peschi compete against each other in the sub-actor category.

The BAFTA Awards Ceremony will take place on February 2 at the Royal Albert Hall in London.
