5 Takeaways From BAFTA Noms: Lily Gladstone’s Snub, ‘Barbie’s’ Underperformance and More
After the 2024 BAFTA nominations, here an analysis of where "Barbie" and Lily Gladstone stand in the Oscar race.
Aside from the omissions of Martin Scorsese (“Killers of the Flower Moon”), Yorgos Lanthimos (“Poor Things”) and Greta Gerwig (“Barbie”), what makes the directing lineup even more difficult to analyze is guessing who the top two vote-getters are. A huge blow was delivered to Lily Gladstone’s Oscar campaign with her BAFTA snub for “Killers of the Flower Moon,” as her closest competitor, Emma Stone from “Poor Things,” landed recognition. In 2021, none of the Oscar best actress nominees were nominated, which left the Academy voters to their own devices and gave the prize to Jessica Chastain for “The Eyes of Tammy Faye,” the only winner in the modern era to achieve it without BAFTA (when the film has been eligible).
