Both the best and supporting actor categories for this year's awards were devoid of any male British actors, the first time since 1976.
In that year, Al Pacino won best actor for his roles in The Godfather II and Dog Day Afternoon. Fred Astaire, meanwhile, won best supporting actor for his role in Towering Inferno.
Across this year's Bafta nominations, 21 per cent of nominations were British, an increase compared with 2023.
Female British actress actors faired better than male actors this year, with Carey Mulligan (Maestro) and Vivian Oparah (Rye Lane) receiving leading actress nominations.
Claire Foy (All of Us Strangers) also received a nomination for supporting actress.
It was also a good year for Irish actors, including Cillian Murphy (Oppenheimer) and Barry Keoghan (Saltburn), who received leading actor nominations.
Paul Mescal (All of Us Strangers), who is also Irish, received a supporting actor nomination.
Overall, Oppenheimer stormed ahead in terms of overall nominations, receiving a whopping 13, including for Best Picture, Best Director (Christopher Nolan), and Leading Actor (Cillian Murphy).
Behind Oppenheimer for nominations is Poor Things - receiving 11 - including for Best Picture, Leading Actress and Outstanding British Film.
Barbie has not garnered awards momentum.

Many had expected the awards season to be a battle between Oppenheimer and Barbie after this summer's 'Barbenheimer' craze.
While Barbie has been nominated for a series of awards, picking up a Box Office award at the Golden Globes, it has not led the way as had been expected.
Some have dubbed its lack of Best Film Bafta nomination as a snub.
