Baz Luhrmann's Elvis Presley biopic Elvis came in third with nine nominations, including best film and a leading actor recognition for Austin Butler. It was the German remake of the anti-war classic All Quiet On The Western Front which led the nominations, overtaking other award-season favourites with 14 nods.Based on the epic 1928 novel by German author Erich Maria Remarque about the horrors of conflict during World War I, the Netflix movie was recognised in the best film category, as well as for films not in the English language, best director, best supporting actor, best adapted screenplay, best original score and other craft prizes.
"It's really exciting because it shows that cinema viewers and our voting members are watching a broader range of films," Anna Higgs, chair of the BAFTA Film Committee, said.
