“All Quiet on the Western Front” leads the 2023 EE Bafta Film Award nominations with 14.
The German-language World War I drama has become the first movie to score 14 or more nods since 2011's “The King's Speech” . It ties with 2001's “Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon” to become the most nominated foreign language film in the event’s history after the shortlists were revealed on Thursday.
Among the accolades the movie is in the running for are Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Director for Edward Berger and the prestigious Best Film.
The Best Film category also features “The Banshees of Inisherin” and “Everything Everywhere All At Once” – the second most nominated movies, with 10 nods each – as well as “Elvis” and “Tar”.
In the performance categories, 14 of the 24 nominees find themselves in the running for their first Bafta award.
