'Emilia Perez' leads the pack of longlisted features for the BAFTA Film Awards

The acclaimed movie is in contention for a number of the most-coveted awards, including Best Film and Best Director.

Elsewhere, 'Conclave' - the Edward Berger-directed thriller - is in contention for 14 accolades, after the British Academy unveiled the results of the first round of voting across all 25 categories.

The movie - which is based on a 2016 novel by Robert Harris - is also among the contenders for the Best Film and Best Director gongs, while Ralph Fiennes is up for the Leading Actor award.

The critically acclaimed film tells the story of a Cardinal who tries to organise the election of the next Pope.

Meanwhile, 'The Substance', 'The Brutalist' and 'A Complete Unknown' all feature on 11 lists, while 'Wicked' and 'Dune: Part Two' appear on ten.

'Anora' and the Sir Ridley Scott-directed 'Gladiator 2' feature on nine lists.

However, 'Gladiator 2' - which stars the likes of Paul Mescal, Pedro Pascal, Joseph Quinn, and Denzel Washington - isn't on the Best Film longlist.

This year's ceremony will feature the Children's and Family Film category for the first time, and 'The Wild Robot', 'That Christmas' and 'Wallace and Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl' have been named on the longlist.

The full list of BATFA nominees is set to be announced on January 15.

The awards ceremony will be held on February 16 at Royal Festival Hall in London, with actor David Tennant returning to host the event.
