Historical drama Oppenheimer has led nominations for the BAFTA film awards, securing 13 nods.
Sex-charged gothic comedy Poor Things received 11 nods while Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon, about the murders of members of the Osage Nation in the 1920s, had nine nominations.
The three movies will all compete for the ceremony’s top prize – best film – alongside courtroom drama Anatomy of a Fall and The Holdovers, a comedy set at a boys’ boarding school.
Pink-themed box office phenomenon Barbie, starring Australian Margot Robbie as the famed Mattel doll, was nominated in five categories.
The best actress prize will have Robbie compete against Poor Things star Emma Stone, Carey Mulligan for Maestro, Sandra Huller for Anatomy Of A Fall, Fantasia Barrino for The Colour Purple and Vivian Oparah for romantic comedy Rye Lane.
Known as the BAFTAs (British Academy of Film and Television Arts), Britain’s top movie awards will take place in London on February 18.
