AWARD-WINNING 

What are the Bafta 2018 nominations, when is the awards ceremony and who’s hosting?

I'm not very fond of award shows in the media industry because the categories have nearly no diversity. It feels as though the nominations are all just different awards for the same 7 or so films. The best films with the best actor nominations, best director nominations, best actress nominations, etc. Granted, it's understandable that the best films would have some of the best director's and vice versa but surely there's one film that wasn't the best directed but had an astounding actress. 'Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri' is up for 6 nominations this year (that we know of right now). Last year 'La La Land' was nominated for 11, winning quite a few, and it feels as though the entire award system is rigged, which is a reoccurring complaint among the audience. Perhaps the nominations should be much more audience or critic based rather than controlled by an unseen, unnamed, probably biased company.
