Josh Safdie’s Marty Supreme made BAFTA history for all the wrong reasons, tying the record for most losses in a single night after going winless across 11 nominations, including Best Actor for Timothée Chalamet.
Josh Safdie’s much-hyped sports dramedy Marty Supreme walked away from the 2026 BAFTA Awards with an unfortunate distinction, tying the record for the most losses in a single night. Despite entering the ceremony with a strong showing of 11 nominations, the film failed to secure a single win, joining Women in Love (1969) and Finding Neverland (2004) as the only films in BAFTA history to go winless after receiving 11 nods.
Timothée Chalamet Misses Out
One of the night’s biggest shocks came in the
Best Actor category, where Timothée Chalamet, widely tipped as a frontrunner, lost out to Robert Aramayo for his performance in I Swear. Chalamet had previously picked up key awards during the season, including wins at the Critics Choice Awards and the
Golden Globes, making his BAFTA loss particularly surprising and shifting momentum in the awards race.
High Expectations, Zero Wins
_Marty Supreme_ had been seen as a major contender across multiple categories, including acting, direction, screenplay, and technical awards. Its complete shutout, however, underlined the unpredictability of this year’s BAFTAs, with several expected winners being edged out by surprise victories.
What This Means for the Oscars Race
Despite the disappointing
BAFTA outcome, awards watchers note that previous films with similar BAFTA shutouts have still managed to find success at the Oscars. Both Women in Love and Finding Neverland eventually took home Academy Awards, keeping hopes alive for Marty Supreme as Hollywood’s biggest night approaches.
Whether the film’s BAFTA snub proves to be a temporary setback or a sign of tougher competition ahead remains to be seen, but its historic loss has already secured it an unusual place in awards-season history.
