A German remake of anti-war classic 'All Quiet on the Western Front' leads the contenders at the British Academy Film Awards on Sunday, the country's highest accolade for the industry.
Competition is tight in the leading actor category, which includes "Banshees"'s Colin Farrell, Brendan Fraser for "The Whale", in which he plays a sick obese man trying to reconnect with his daughter, as well as Austin Butler for his portrayal of Elvis Presley in "Elvis".
Celebrities and Britain's Prince and Princess of Wales will attend the awards ceremony at London's Royal Festival Hall overlooking the River Thames. One person who will stay away is Bulgarian investigative journalist Christo Grozev, who features in nominated documentary "Navalny" about jailed Russian opposition politician Alexei Navalny.
Grozev, whom Russia put on a wanted list in December, said on Twitter on Friday he and his family had been "banned by British police from attending".In response, London's Metropolitan's Police said "police do not and cannot ban anyone from attending a private event," adding that decisions on attendance were for event organisers.
BAFTA Chief Executive Jane Millichip said while Grozev would not attend the ceremony, the film's nominated producers would.Reporting by Marie-Louise Gumuchian; editing by Barbara Lewis
