"One Battle After Another" leads the longlists with 16 mentions, according to Variety. The BAFTA nominations are being revealed after the Oscar nominations but precede the close of Oscar voting, according to Variety. The BAFTAs often highlight British talent and offer a broader range of nominees due to having more slots per category, influencing the global film landscape, according to BBC Breaking. Alan Cumming will host the ceremony, according to BBC Breaking.

The first half of the season will premiere on January 29th, and the second half on February 26th, according to Time. Season 4 will focus on Benedict, but many narratives from Season 3 are likely to ripple into the new season, according to Time.
