Why is “Emilia Perez” causing controversy? Inside criticism about the casting, French director, Mexican setting and transgender representation, and what stars and director have said.

“Conclave” and “Emilia Pérez” lead this year’s BAFTA Film Awards nominations, heading up a diverse mix of talent and titles in a competition where, for the first time in years, there’s no clear favorite in any of the major categories.

Other nominees include "The Brutalist," "A Complete Unknown," "Conclave," "The Substance," "A Real Pain," "Dune: Part Two" and "September 5"

“Flow,” “Inside Out 2,” “Moana 2,” “Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl,” and “The Wild Robot” are all amongst the nominees in the category of Animated Theatrical Motion Picture.

After dominating the Golden Globes and racking up SAG Award nominations, the Spanish-language musical is facing backlash.

Anora, The Brutalist, Conclave and Emilia Perez also scored best director nominations this morning for Sean Baker, Brady Corbet, Edward Berger and Jacques Audiard. They are joined in the category by Dune: Part Two director Denis Villeneuve and The Substance filmmaker Carolie Fargeat.

EE BAFTA Film Awards nominations are in, with 42 films receiving nods on Wednesday morning. Leading the crop of nominees are "Conclave" with 12, "Emilia Pérez" with 11, and "The Brutalist" with nine.
