Blockbusters Dunkirk and Blade Runner 2049 were the biggest surprises of the BAFTA 2018 nominations.
While the Guillermo Del Toro's sci-fi romance The Shape Of Water led the nominations with 12 nods, including best film, director and actress for Sally Hawkins, that came as no surprise.
The film had already dominated nominations at the Golden Globes, but fell short of expectations at the ceremony on Sunday, losing best picture to Martin McDonagh's Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri.
McDonagh's film picked up nine nominations for this year's BAFTAs, including best film, director, outstanding British film, original screenplay and best actress for Frances McDormand.
Following closely was Joe Wright's The Darkest Hour, with a nod for best film and best actor for Gary Oldman.
"This is my third BAFTA nomination as an actor," he said.
"The recognition means so much, and especially more so not merely for the distinguished company I now find myself in with my fellow nominees, but most especially for the privilege of playing Winston Churchill – which it truly was."

But the real surprise were the IMAX hits of the year, Christopher Nolan's Dunkirk and Denis Villeneuve's Blade Runner 2049, with eight nods each.
The two films exceeded in technical categories, and both got a best director nod for their respective filmmakers.
The highly anticipated Blade Runner sequel was snubbed by the Globes this year, but had a deeper impact on British jurors.
BAFTA's biggest snub of the year was for first-time director Greta Gerwig and her movie Lady Bird.
:: Golden Globes got it all wrong – except the tone
Not only did it fail to win a nod for best film, but also best director, leaving the category male-dominated.
The absence of female directors nominated for the Globes on Sunday was underlined by Natalie Portman as she announced the "all male nominees" for best director, to gasps from the audience.
"Thank you so much for this amazing honour," Gerwig said in statement regarding her nod for best original screenplay.
"Everyone who worked on Lady Bird poured their heart and soul into it, and I am so proud of every single cast and crew member. I am thrilled for Saoirse Ronan and Laurie Metcalf — they are both such extraordinary actresses, and they are deserving of every accolade.
"I've always wanted to be a writer and director, and I could not be more happy that I've been able to do it and that it has been received with such love."
Also snubbed by the British Academy was Steven Spielberg's The Post, starring Meryl Streep and Tom Hanks, which failed to receive any nominations.

In the run for best male performer is Christopher Plummer, who replaced Kevin Spacey in Ridley Scott's All The Money In The World following accusations of sexual misconduct.
This year's BAFTA ceremony will take place at London's Royal Albert Hall on Sunday 18 February, and will be hosted by Joanna Lumley, who will replace Stephen Fry who stepped down last week.
