BAFTA 2026: Timothee's 'Marty Supreme' Goes Empty-Handed After Securing Record 11 Nominations

(MENAFN- Khaleej Times) Timothée Chalamet's Marty Supreme may have ignited the American dream in his viewers, but at the BAFTA, it all went to nought. In one of the huge surprises, prime Oscar contender Marty Supreme left the British Academy Awards empty-handed after being shut out, following a healthy 11 nods at the nominations stage.

The film entered the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) with formidable nomination strength and broad expectations of converting in at least a handful of categories, particularly for leading actor Timothée Chalamet, who picked up major stops this season at the Critics' Choice Awards and the Golden Globes in January.

In one of the night's biggest shocks, Chalamet lost to Robert Aramayo from Kirk Jones' Tourette's drama movie, I Swear.

With this disappointing night ahead of the Oscars, the film has joined movies including Women in Love (1969) and Finding Neverland (2004) as the only films to go winless with 11 nominations at BAFTA.

Notably, both of those titles still went on to win a single Oscar on their respective nights: Glenda Jackson for best actress (Women in Love) and Jan AP Kaczmarek for original score (Finding Neverland), Variety reported.

However, Marty Supreme remains a formidable player at the Oscars 2026. Before this, an Oscar-winning film Everything Everywhere All at Once managed only one BAFTA win (film editing) before going on to take seven Oscars, including best picture, director and three acting prizes.

The moving drama Moonlight (2016) also went without a single BAFTA win that year, losing all four of its awards, before pulling off a historic upset in best picture at the Oscars.

At BAFTA, Marty Supreme was nominated for best film, director, leading actor (Chalamet), supporting actress (Odessa A'zion), casting, original screenplay, production design, cinematography, costume design, film editing and makeup and hairstyling.

At the Oscars, the film is nominated for nine, but misses BAFTA nominations for supporting actress, makeup and hairstyling.

Final Oscar voting runs from February 26 to March 5. The 98th Oscars will be held on March 15, hosted by TV host Conan O'Brien.
