Wallis Island Sparks a Quiet Bafta Moment
Bafta 2026 nominations tilt toward One Battle After Another at the top, but The Ballad of Wallis Island stands out with three nods—Outstanding British Film, Adapted Screenplay, and Best Supporting Actress for Carey Mulligan. The piece cheers Wallis Island as a tender, distinctly British entry and hopes Tim Key will get to accept on stage, while noting other nominees across English- and non-English-language categories ahead of the February 22, 2026 ceremony.
