BAFTA Longlists Reveal Snubs and Surprises
The BAFTA longlists were announced today, and there are some big surprises and snubs.
Some well-known films like 'After The Hunt' and 'The Testament Of Ann Lee' didn't make the list at all, which is surprising because they had nominations at other awards shows.
On the other hand, some lesser-known films like 'The Ballad Of Wallis Island' and 'Dragonfly' made it onto the list, which is exciting.
The voting for nominations is open now and will close on January 20th.
The nominations will be announced on January 27th, and the big ceremony will be on February 22nd.
It's interesting to see which films are getting attention and which ones are being overlooked.
