Bafta has suspended Bryan Singer’s nomination for the film Bohemian Rhapsody in the wake of sexual assault allegations. The film-maker had been named in the outstanding British film category but the academy said his nomination has been suspended “effective immediately”. Bafta said in a statement: “In light of recent very serious allegations, Bafta has informed Bryan Singer that his nomination for Bohemian Rhapsody has been suspended, effective immediately. This has led to Mr Singer’s suspended nomination. “Bafta will make no further statement on this matter during the period of suspension.”Last month, Bohemian Rhapsody was removed as a nominee at the GLAAD Media Awards ceremony following the allegations.
