Mary Poppins Returns and Mamma Mia movies left disappointed

Snubbed:

Mary Poppins Returns missed out in all the major categories.

The Disney film, a sequel to the 1964 original, was disregarded for a best film nod and also a leading actress nomination for Emily Blunt, who had been nominated for a Golden Globe Award.

It received only three nominations in the technical categories – original music, production design and costume design.

There was also upset for Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again, which was omitted from all Bafta categories.

The musical film, starring Meryl Streep, Amanda Seyfried,

Colin Firth and Pierce Brosnan, was considered a possible contender in the outstanding British film category.

Mary Queen of Scots star and four-time Bafta nominee Saoirse Ronan was not included in the leading actress category, despite being among the favourites for the award.

Co-star Margot Robbie was nominated for supporting actress for her role in the historical drama.

Another notable snub was for Steve McQueen, whose film Widows only received one nomination; Viola Davis was nominated for leading actress.

Oscars favourite Regina King, who won a Golden Globe Award at the weekend, was also excluded from the leading actress nominations list for her role in If Beale Street Could Talk.
