Surprises And Snubs: Only five actors are nominated in the Oscars and Screen Actors Guild's acting categories, while the BAFTAs nominate six in each.

Gladiator II star Denzel Washington, Wicked, Kneecap, Sing Sing breakout Clarence Maclin, Queer lead Daniel Craig, and The Substance star Margaret Qualley were among the biggest snubs and surprises after the 78th annual BAFTA Awards nominations were announced on Wednesday.

Denzel Washington is widely regarded as one of the greatest actors of his generation, but he remans a blind spot for the BAFTAs.

The BAFTA nominees were announced this morning but there was no recognition for high profile movies such as Queer, Challengers, Babygirl, and Paddington In Peru. Meanwhile, musical Wicked was shut out of the Best Film and Best Director categories.
