The 2024 BAFTA nominations are here – and so are the snubs.
Killers of the Flower Moonstar Lily Gladstone was noticeably absent from the Best Actress nominations. Gladstone recently made history when she received the Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Drama, becoming the first Indigenous actor to do so. Many fans took to Twitter to voice their confusion and frustration about the snub, with some calling the snub a “loss” for the BAFTAs.
“Lily Gladstone not being on here is insane to me,“one fan wrote.
“Sorry but leaving off Lily Gladstone of the BAFTA Best Actress nominations is a big loss,“wrote another.
“I’m sorry but I can’t take an awards body that snubs Lily Gladstone in nominations seriously,“someone said.
“Man, I’m gonna be pissed about Andrew Scott and Lily Gladstone all day,“said someone else.
“Surprised at the Lily Gladstone BAFTA omission, I can’t lie. That is a top 5 performance of last year regardless of gender or time on screen,“another fan commented.
