However, the British Academy did not entirely follow suit with the dominant awards-season narrative. Its voters were particularly partial to Tom Ford’s Nocturnal Animals. Despite missing out on Best Film, the moody drama garnered nine nods, the same amount as Denis Villeneuve’s Arrival. Aaron Taylor Johnson—an unexpected victor Sunday night—is once again competing for the supporting actor prize, while Ford will contend for Director and Jake Gyllenhaal for Leading Actor. But what got left out while the BAFTAs were showering affection on Ford’s movie? Notably work by black filmmakers and actors. Moonlight’s Barry Jenkins wasn’t honored for directing, while Denzel Washington’s performance in Fences was ignored.
