BAFTA Snub Reframes Oscars Talk as AMPAS Tightens Voting Rules

BAFTA's nominations push Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another to the Oscar forefront with 14 nods, while Delroy Lindo’s snub highlights ongoing BAFTA–Oscar dynamics. Amy Madigan’s work in Weapons is noted amid the chatter, and a new AMPAS rule requiring members to confirm they’ve watched all nominated titles could reshape voting. The changes add a layer of unpredictability to the race as SAG/BAFTA results continue to influence final Oscar outcomes.
