British Independent Film Nominations Announced: Lady Macbeth Dominates with 15 Noms
The nominees for the 2017 British Independent Film Awards were announced earlier today, and in a remarkable turn of events, the same five films not only the categories for Best Film, Best Screenplay, and Best Director, but also dominate the rest of the awards as well. One of the big surprises was the success of Lady Macbeth, William Oldroyd’s feature directorial debut starring Florence Pugh, which earned a whopping 15 nominations, including Best Director for Oldroyd and Best Actress for relative newcomer Pugh. Other films with impressive showings include The Death of Stalin, God’s Own Country, I Am Not a Witch, and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri. The BIFA awards will be handed out on Sunday, December 10.
