From Morning Report, 7:57 am on 19 February 2024

Oppenheimer is set to ignite the BAFTA awards which are just about to get underway in London.

Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer, about the life of the man who helped develop the atomic bomb, is leading the charge with 13 nominations including best film, best actor and best supporting actress.

Meanwhile, Yorgos Lanthimos's brilliantly bonkers Poor Things is hot on Oppenheimer's heels, with 11 nods.

London based commentator Richard Fitzwilliams spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.
