I still can't fathom they decided Promising Young Woman was worthy of a best casting nomination but Carey Mulligan was not. What an epic snub.
That's because different groups voted on these awards.

She failed to win the Globe, even though she was the perceived front runner. And PYW went 5-0. Yes, I know but that has nothing to do with what I am talking about, which is specifically aimed at the BAFTA.

That I didn't grasp, thanks for clarifying. It still makes BAFTA sound contradictory in my book.

Worth noting that all potential nominees who were previous BAFTA winners were snubbed except the vets in Hopkins and McDormand. This is a very interesting point, wonder if it was part of their thought process

Because it's worked for major film festivals for 70+ years. Most people here tend to claim festivals choose better winners than industry awards. Well, here you have industry awards now going closer to the Festival model (but only in part). Plus, it's only the nominations that are partially being decided by that system. The whole membership still decides who is worthy of winning. I guess I’m with festivals and industry awards being very separate models. And sure, the entire membership gets to vote on who wins, but had no say if they feel their options are worthy nominees. Same. I think a film festival model is fine for film festivals, but even then you get controversy like some judges not wanting to listen to the jurors, or a jurors hating a film and trying to get the jury to rally around other films or someone on the jury being friends with someone in the competition. All of which I’ve read have happened at Cannes and Venice in the last decade. I like that BAFTA isn’t following the other award shows, but I still feel this system needs tweaking. Jury members should definitely belong to BAFTA for one thing, and I think it needs to be a bigger jury than a film festival would have. They don’t necessarily have to follow SAG by having such a large nominating committee, but 7-12 seems like a very small pool imo.

I dunno...as long as you have verified experts in their field doing the nominating in a Jury, I don't see what the problem is. Isn't this how most Festival Awards are decided. No one disputes the prestige, value or legitimacy of Awards from Cannes, Berlin or Venice because they were decided on by a jury of 7-12 experts in their profession. Those jury awards don't decide the options for a larger group... They just pick the winners, that's it. BAFTA has a large membership, and it doesn't feel right for just a few people to decide from which options the rest of the membership can pick from. Agree with this.
