The Favourite continues as, well, the favourite heading into yet another industry awards night, fresh off the back of a successful bout at the Golden Globes.

The period-drama comedy has been nominated in 12 categories for the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) awards, which are the most prestigious film awards held outside of the US, and a foreshadower to the Oscars.

All three of the film’s lead actresses – Olivia Colman, Rachel Weisz and Emma Stone – have scored nominations. Colman scooped the Globe for best performance by an actress in a musical or comedy motion picture, while Weisz and Stone were hot contenders for the best supporting actress category.

Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga’s A Star Is Born was left wanting at the Globes. With seven nominations under its belt – including best film, best actor and best actress – whether or not it takes an award back over the Atlantic will be telling of its Oscar fortunes.

Bohemian Rhapsody, First Man and Roma also each bagged seven nominations.

The Freddie Mercury biopic has been nominated for outstanding British film, its star Rami Malek for best actor, and best costume design.

The BAFTAs will be announced in London on February 10, and the night hosted by Absolutely Fabulous star Joanna Lumley.

Meanwhile, The Oscars will be held on February 25, but the awards are still without a host.
