West Side Story Tops The 2022 BAFTA Awards Longlists

If you’re looking for an indicator of potential Oscar nominations sometimes you need to look across the Atlantic to the Academy’s British counterparts, BAFTA. The U.K.-based organization features a large cross-section of AMPAS members so their nominations can tell along about where the Oscars may (or may not) go. This morning BAFTA released the first phase of its nominations, the Longlists, and what stood out the most was just how much Netflix dominated the proceedings.
