The 2025 EE British Academy of Film and Television Awards, commonly known as the BAFTAs, are just round the corner. Celebrating the very best in cinema in the UK and beyond, we can expect the ceremony to be as glitzy and glamorous as usual, as the A-List descend on London's Royal Festival Hall.

In 2023, Berger’s World War I drama All Quiet on the Western Front picked up 14 BAFTA nominations, equaling the record for a non-English-language film first set by Ang Lee’s wuxia masterpiece Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon . It also ended up with seven wins, including for best film.

With the UK accounting for only a small minority of acting nominees at the Bafta film awards on Sunday, the country’s best hopes for success may come in the categories that celebrate achievement behind the camera.
