One honor Denzel Washington doesn’t have yet over his 40-year career is a single nomination from the BAFTA Awards. With somewhat of a home-field advantage for tackling William Shakespeare, could he finally receive his first nom for TheTragedyofMacbeth?
BAFTA is continuing to make a conscious effort to widen their net for diversity, both within its own membership and the films it honors. However, with a new voting method introduced last year following the, the group threw the awards season for a loop with surprise selections. Instituting a jury into the voting process, performances such as Radha Blank and Adarsh Gourav managed to make the cut in favor of “safer” picks like eventual Oscar nominees Carey Mulligan and Gary Oldman .
All of Washington’s British Academy omissions are more complex than just blatant snobbery and cultural lacking. His Oscar-nominated films — “Glory” , “Malcolm X” , “The Hurricane” and “Roman J. Israel, Esq.” — had late U.K. releases, pushing them outside of the eligibility window in their respective years.
“Gangster” from Ridley Scott was more appealing to the Brits than the Oscar voting body, as it landed five BAFTA noms, including best film. But, unfortunately, the Academy Awards only gave it two, including supporting actress and production design, coincidentally two elements BAFTA didn’t recognize.
The British voting bloc has become a critical awards stop in the past few years. 10 of the last 11 Oscar winners for best actor won BAFTA first; the exception is Matthew McConaughey for “Dallas Buyers Club,” which had too late of a U.K. release for voting.
