The Hollywood Reporter's awards columnist discusses the BAFTA Awards' complex selection process.
The current nomination process is complex and difficult to explain, but the bottom line is that the nominees for the directing and acting awards are now chosen almost entirely by small juries of 10 to 12 “industry experts put together by BAFTA, comprising of a diverse range of backgrounds, experience and age” — not all of whom even work in the field they are judging — with the mandate, reiterated “by pre-jury briefing and the jury chair,” “to address significant issues of underrepresentation in...
Prior to the juries weighing in, there is a largely semantic “longlist” vote, through which BAFTA’s general membership gets to express its preferences, resulting in a, well,list of contenders — for example, 15 performances in each of the acting categories and 20 directors. But after that, gutters are added to the bowling lanes, so to speak, to make sure that BAFTA’s members don’t embarrass the organization.
For example? Of the 15 performances longlisted in each of the four acting categories by the sizable acting chapter of BAFTA, only the two highest vote-getters from each automatically become nominees. The remaining four slots are then filled by a jury — comprised of people who are not necessarily actors — which can elect to advance, say, the 12th, 13th, 14th and 15th highest vote-getters if they feel that will result in the most presentable list of nominees.
Perhaps the most shoehorned category is director. In the initial stage of the selection process, the directing chapter of BAFTA — comprised of actual directors — is asked to rank 17 male-directed films and 17 female-directed films.
