BAFTA nominations 2018: Box office bomb Blade Runner 2049 bags 8 nods, The Shape Of Water leads the list

Following the Best Picture nomination at Golden Globes 2018 on Sunday, January 7, 'Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri' has bagged another Best Picture nomination in 71st British Academy Film Awards.

Guillermo del Toro's The Shape of Water is leading the list with 12 nominations in total. It is followed by Three Billboards and Darkest Hour along with nine nominations each.

Surprisingly, box office flop Blade Runner 2049 has earned eight nods alongside Christopher Nolan's Dunkirk.

Blade Runner 2049 has earned $258.7 million at the worldwide box office while the production budget was $150 million. Needless to say, the Ryan Gosling starrer was a box office flop.

According to Rotten Tomatoes, the sci-fi movie is 87 percent fresh. "That Blade Runner 2049 is a more than worthy sequel to Scott's first film means it crosses the highest bar anyone could have reasonably set for it, and it distinguishes Villeneuve – who's masterminded all of this, somehow, since making Arrival – as the most exciting filmmaker working at his level today," as noted by The Telegraph's Robbie Collin.

This year's Bafta ceremony will be held at London's Royal Albert Hall on Sunday, February 18, 2018.
