Bafta Film Awards 2019: Olivia Colman's The Favourite leads nominations.


Olivia Colman's film The Favourite leads the race for this year's Bafta Awards, with 12 nominations.

The announcement comes days after Colman won a Golden Globe for playing Queen Anne in the period comedy-drama.

It's some way ahead of its nearest Bafta rivals Bohemian Rhapsody, A Star Is Born, First Man and Roma, which have seven nominations each.

All three main actresses in Favourite, The (2018), Olivia Colman, Rachel Weisz, and Emma Stone – were recognized with nominations, which were unveiled Wednesday. Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga landed best actor and actress nominations for A Star Is Born (2018), and Cooper was one of the five nominees for best director.
