Oi! The lads at the pub say that the BAFTAs released their 2019 film nominations Wednesday morning, and wouldn’t you know, The Favourite came out on top with a whopping 12 nominations, including Best Film and Best British Film. That’s well good for Yorgos Lanthimos’s period drama, innit, which has not had a great go of it at this week’s guild nominations. Also looking quite fit are A Star Is Born, First Man, Roma, and Bohemian Rhapsody, which “beckoned” (that’s leery for “came in second”) with seven nominations. The BAFTAs also decided to honor Margot Robbie’s 18th-century criminal ancestors by nominating her in Best Supporting Actress for Mary, Queen of Scots.
