Because they only just introduced a jury system. The jury system is the best. It's sad that they had to go that route, but the voting membership as a whole made it clear they couldn't be trusted.

Pretty shocked Trial got into best picture even after underperforming pretty much everywhere else.

I don't want to get my hopes up, but Supporting Actress is really starting to feel like it's between Bakalova and Youn. I just saw no Foster!!! I was really scared she was going to not only be nominated and win here, and then go on to win her third Oscar because voters would just default to the biggest name in the best reviews movie over Close and HE.

Mulligan takes a big hit. There’s still no clear front runner but she really needs to win SAG now.
Sadly, think Seyfried has little to no shot at winning in supporting anymore. Pretty disappointing.

Mulligan and Fennell missing really leaves a sour taste.

I'm actually impressed that they didn't decide to follow regular old potential Oscar nominations, and did their own thing. That being said it totally means the actual nominees and winners are completely unclear outside of Normandland.

this is so cool. just saw Calm with Horses last night and those mentions are pretty neat. Shannon Murphy for Babyteeth might be my favorite the wtfs here. Love her work on that amazing flick
you guys ready for academy award nominee, ALAN KIM! It's happening.

Mulligan and Fennell missing really leaves a sour taste. There was another thought, or rather vague, nameless horror concerning them, which at times by its intensity completely overpowered all the rest; and yet so mystical and well nigh ineffable was it, that I almost despair of putting it in a comprehensible form. It was the whiteness of the whales that above all things appalled

The fact that Kirby of all people managed to score all 4 major precursors while Mulligan missed is just ... unbelievable.

Just browsing through these nominees in more detail and it seems very clear to me that all the BAFTA voters this year just Netflix and chilled. His House, Babyteeth, Rocks, The White Tiger, and Calm With Horses I bet you'll all get on the front page now.

Wow BAFTA must've really hated Tenet. Only one nomination in Visual Effects, didn't even get one for Score.

Or maybe the fact that Kirby actually gave a better performance? Just a thought.

Calm With Horses doing as well as it did gives me so much life.

I just find it completely random considering Kirby's film has no traction beyond her (except a smidgen for Burstyn) while Mulligan won the most critics awards and her film is also very strong.

I mean, this is all fine and it is indeed nice to see a different list of nominees from an awards body as huge as this, but at the end of the day this list will always come with an asterisk because it's not really the pick of the organization. Had the whole membership made these choices, this would've been the awards story of the year. Alas, these are just jury picks and for me they'll always have that aura around them. So while it does indeed feel weird not to see someone like Carey Mulligan here (especially when both of her movies were so heavily supported by the general membership), her snub is rather easy to explain, even if it does have a sour taste to it. That's why I'm not as enthusiastic about this whole thing. And it seems that it just makes the pathway to the win easier for the bigger contenders.

So people bitch about awards season being too predictable, but then when something cool like this happens, you complain because it's not predictable enough?

Tbh I feel like if they wanted to have a BAFTA jury award it should probably be a different award altogether. Like the British Film Critics Circle or something lol.

Yeah, the directing and acting lineups are indeed the BAFTA Jury Award this year, that's an appropriate title. I mean, I understand their fight for diversity after they promised to do so last year, but it's clear that the more standard tastes of the general membership remain unchanged. Just look at the damn Best Picture lineup.
