Hamnet has already set a new Bafta record for the most nominations for a film directed by a woman, with nods in 11 categories. Two of Buckley’s fellow nominees for best actress have their own chance to make history. No British performers have been nominated for best actress this year, the first time this has happened since 2020. Mullan would be the first person from Scotland to win the Bafta for best supporting actor. The first non-white man to win the Bafta for best cinematography was Remi Adefarasin in 1999, for the film Elizabeth.
