Here are some notable misses: No Avatar, She Said, Till, The Woman King, or Women Talking in Best Picture. No Wendell & Wild in Animated Feature. Most of the missing films for Best Film are in the Best Director race, except James Cameron and BAFTA’s least favorite director, Steven Spielberg. Hugh Jackman, Olivia Colman, Paul Dano, Brian Tyree Henry, Jessie Buckley, or Stephanie Hsu in the acting categories. The biggest takeaways here are that All Quiet on the Western Front and Triangle of Sadness are stronger than we may have given them credit for while Avatar: The Way of Water and The Fabelmans took a bath with a scant three and four citations, both less than The Batman, a situation no one would have expected. This is just the longlist too. Most of these aren’t going to be nominated, which suggests a bad day for Cameron and Spielberg if nothing else. (Editor’s Note: 1/19/23, corrected the tallies.)
