The 78th British Academy Film Awards will be held Sunday in London. Ralph Fiennes’ \”Conclave\” leads the race for best picture. Best actress nominee Karla Sofia Gascon has withdrawn from promoting the film. The British prizes may give hints of who will win at the Oscars on March 3, in an unusually hard-to-call awards season.\”The Brutalist\” has nine BAFTA nominations, while \”Anora,\” the sci-fi epic \”Dune: Part Two\” and musical \”Wicked\” have seven each. and \”A Complete Unknown\” \”Kneecap\” received six nominations, as did the Irish-language hip-hop drama \”The Substance\” and \”Hard Truths,\” starring Marianne Jean-Baptiste and Mikey Madison. and Demi Moore, already a Golden Globe winner for \”Severance,\” said that Moore’s \”visceral\” performance \”cends so many different boundaries\” for women in film.
