Bafta has brought in many changes to the voting procedures this year following an in-depth investigation into membership and voting this summer prompted by last year’s nominations which were widely considered to be lacking in diversity.
The key changes introduced on the back of the industry-wide investigation included encouraging all voters to watch at least 15 prescribed films, chapter voting until the final nominee stage in all four acting categories and the best director categories, and more juries across all categories apart from the best film.
The final nominations will be announced on March 9, and the Bafta Film Awards will take place on April 11.
