Ahead of the 78th British Academy Film Awards, MyBettingSites.co.uk has collected a list of all the (25+) records that could be broken at the upcoming ceremony this Sunday. 

To highlight a few of the records that could be broken, “Conclave” (12 nominations) or “Emilia Pérez” (11 nominations) could break the record for the most BAFTA awards won by a single film in one night, Cynthia Erivo (“Wicked”) or Marianne Jean-Baptiste (“Hard Truths”) both have a chance to become the first black actress to ever win in the Best Actress in a Leading Role category at the BAFTAs, Jamie Lee Curtis (“The Last Showgirl”) could join Kate Winslet & Judi Dench and become only the third actress to ever win 2 or more times in the Best Actress in a Supporting Role category, Isabella Rossellini (“Conclave”) could become the first Italian actress to win in the Best Actress in a Supporting Role category while Yura Borisov (“Anora”) could become the first Russian actor to win in the Best Actor in a Supporting Role category.

 Saoirse Ronan (“The Outrun”) could become the first Irish actress to win in the Best Actress in a Leading Role category, however, if Ronan does not win, she will break a record and become the actress with the most nominations in the Best Actress in a Leading Role category without a win (5 nominations).

Last but not least, Sean Baker (“Anora”) could break the record of Alfonso Cuarón for the most BAFTA Awards won in one night (4) by an individual and he could also become the first person to win in the Best Editing & Best Casting category the same night that he is nominated for directing.
