The 78th BAFTA Film Award nominees have been announced, celebrating the best in film, games, and television. This year, Company 3’s color work is featured across sixteen nominated films.

Among the standout titles, Gladiator II, graded by Senior Colorist Stephen Nakamura, earned an impressive nine nominations, while Jon Chu’s vibrant musical Wicked, graded by Senior Colorist Jill Bogdanowicz, secured ten—including a nod for Best Film.

In the Outstanding British Film category, Blitz, Paddington in Peru, and Lee—all brought to life with the expertise of our senior colorists—received well-earned recognition. Blitz was graded by Tom Poole, while Paddington in Peru and Lee were both graded by Jean-Clément Soret.

A huge congratulations to all the creative teams behind these incredible films! The BAFTA Awards winners will be announced on February 16, 2025, at London’s Southbank Centre, with David Tennant returning as host.
