BAFTA Awards 2020 Nominations Released, Lack of Diversity Addressed as 'Infuriating'

The British Academy of Film and Television Arts has announced the nominations for the 2020 awards!

Joker leads the pack with 11 total nominations, with The Irishman and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood having 10 each.

The lack of diversity in the nominations has been noted by BAFTA executives.

“Clearly everybody knows that everybody in the four acting groups of nominees are white, it’s infuriating, we can’t make the industry do something, all we can do is encourage and push and inspire and try to help people coming in at the bottom end,” Marc Samuelson, chairman of BAFTA’s film committee, said in a statement.

The show is set to air on February 2 live from London.
