But it’s not necessarily a bad omen for Kristen Stewart’s Oscar chances.
The BAFTAs are the British equivalent of the Oscars, and are every bit as prestigious. And whether BAFTA winners are an indicator of who wins Academy Awards—the BAFTAs are earlier in the season, but Oscar voting is “closed” to the Academy andin early March—they definitely highlight whose performances in film made an impact on the year.
It’s not immediately clear what happened, but a few things could be at play simultaneously. For one, despite the film getting nods from dozens of other awards shows,just didn’t get that much enthusiasm from British movie-goers. Maybe the idea of an American actress in a film by a Chilean director covering a delicate moment in British history was too out-there for mainstream Brit audiences.
The other scenario, of course, is that Prince William has been president of the BAFTA organization since 2010, part of his long-time support of British arts. While BAFTA award-winners are decided on by voters, it’s speculated that his presence in the organization precluded some people from wanting to show too much support for a film that doesn’t exactly show his family in a good light.
