The BAFTA (British film awards) nominations are out, and both the Golden Globe-winning gay coming-of-age film Moonlight and the Russell Tovey starrer/gay-themed film The Pass have picked up recognition.

The Pass received nods for writing and direction, while Moonlight garnered four awards — Best Film, Editing and acting honors for supporting players Naomie Harris and Mahershala Ali.

I have yet to see The Pass, but Moonlight deserves its acclaims.

Other nominations — heavy on the La La Land, a somewhat surprising amount of love for gay filmmaker Tom Ford's stylish thriller Nocturnal Animals — are here.
