  • Story Text: Stars walked the red carpet in London on Sunday (February 22) at the BAFTA awards, Britain's top movie honours, where "One Battle After Another," "Sinners" and "Hamnet" are the favourites to pick up the biggest prizes.
        Action-packed dark comedy "One Battle After Another," directed by U.S. filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson, leads the field with 14 nominations, followed by vampire thriller "Sinners," which has received the most nods for next month's Oscars.
        But "Hamnet," a tear-jerker about Shakespeare, his wife Agnes and the death of their son, is the bookmakers' favourite to win best film, given its British credentials.
        Leading actor is harder to call, with Timothee Chalamet, star of "Marty Supreme," vying with Leonardo DiCaprio and Michael B. Jordan for their respective performances in "One Battle After Another" and "Sinners."
        "Sinners" has scored 13 BAFTA nominations, three fewer than its 16 for the Oscars. Wunmi Mosaku, up for best supporting actress, said the recognition for the film from critics and audiences felt "overwhelming, humbling and just bonkers."
         Norwegian film "Sentimental Value" is another strong contender, with eight nods.
        The 79th British Academy Film Awards will be held in London on Sunday evening, hosted by Scottish actor, TV presenter and director Alan Cumming.
