After two years of more interesting/surprise nominations, the BAFTAs mostly reverted back to what they were before with only a small number of jury selections making the lineups. The Fabelmans, Top Gun, and Avatar all underperformed, with Women Talking completely shut out. All Quiet on the Western Front leads with 14 noms - wow. That's the most any film has gotten since The King Speech 12 years ago.
