The nominees for this year's delayed BAFTA Film Awards have been announced.
After the Academy was criticised for its predominantly-white selections in 2020, diversity is at the core of the 2021 list, with strong BAME candidates in virtually every category.
Frances McDormand's Nomadland and coming-of-age film Rocks lead the way with seven nominations apiece, while Chadwick Boseman gets a posthumous nod for Best Actor for his role in Ma Rainey's Black Bottom.
This year's virtually-held awards are due to take place on April 11.
Scroll on to see the full list of nominees.
