A notably diverse list of nominations for the UK’s prestigious BAFTA (British Academy of Film and Television Arts) awards were announced Tuesday following last year’s controversy over a lack of representation.

More than half of the 24 nominees in the acting categories are from ethnic minority backgrounds, including Daniel Kaluuya for “Judas and the Black Messiah” and Bukky Bakray for “Rocks.”
Four women were nominated in the director category, including “Nomadland” director Chloé Zhao — who just a few days ago became the first woman of Asian descent and second woman ever to win the same award at this year’s Golden Globes.
Daniel Kaluuya as Chairman Fred Hampton in "Judas and the Black Messiah," a performance for which he received a nomination for best supporting actor at this year's BAFTA awards.

Last year, BAFTA bosses acknowledged the “infuriating” lack of diversity in the 2020 nominations. Every person shortlisted for an acting award in 2020 was White, while the lack of gender diversity among nominees was also stark.

While accepting his award for best leading actor for “Joker” at the 2020 awards ceremony, Joaquin Phoenix called out the “system of oppression” in the film industry.

“I feel conflicted because so many of my fellow actors that are deserving don’t have that same privilege. I think that we send a very clear message to people of color that you’re not welcome here,” Phoenix said.
BAFTA announced in September some 120 “wide-ranging changes” to address a lack of diversity in the awards, including changes to its membership and voting process.
The changes, hailed by chair Krishnendu Majumdar as “a watershed moment” in the academy’s history, came after a seven-month review following the lack of diversity in last year’s nominations.
“Nomadland” and “Rocks” received the most nominations this year with seven apiece, while “The Father,” “Mank,” “Minari” and “Promising Young Woman” received six each.
BAFTA winners awards will be announced on Sunday, April 11.
