• The 2021 BAFTA nominations were announced on March 9.
• The diverse list included surprises like Alan Kim for "Minari" and seven nods for "Rocks."
• However, BAFTA snubbed major stars, including British actors Carey Mulligan and Olivia Colman.

The 2021 BAFTA nominations were announced Tuesday, and the British Film Academy's new voting system delivered a lot of surprising nominations.

Chloé Zhao's "Nomadland" picked up the most BAFTA nods with seven. British coming-of-age movie "Rocks," which was actually released in 2019 and is much lesser known, also scored seven.

The nominations list was also notably diverse. Four women were nominated in the best director category, including Zhao, while 16 out of the 24 acting nominations went to actors from ethnic minority groups.

Although the BAFTAs don't usually stray too far away from what's expected to be nominated at the Oscars - while always making room for their own - this year the nominations felt a bit chaotic.

Each category threw out surprise after surprise with lesser known movies such as "Rocks" and "Another Round" scoring big. Meanwhile, mainstream films like "Mank" and "One Night in Miami" missed out on a lot.
