Hollywood stars and U.K. royalty converged on London's Royal Festival Hall on Sunday for the British Academy Film Awards, where German-language antiwar drama “All Quiet on the Western Front” leads the pack of nominees.

The visceral depiction of life and death in the World War I trenches is up for 14 awards, including best picture. It won early awards for best adapted screenplay, cinematography and a film not in English.

Joking about the infamous altercation between Will Smith and Chris Rock at last year's Oscars, Grant said, “Nobody on my watch gets slapped tonight. Except on the back.” Helen Mirren paid tribute to William’s grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, who died in September. Mirren, who portrayed the late monarch onscreen in “The Queen” and onstage in “The Audience," called Elizabeth "the nation's leading lady.”

Martin McDonagh’s “Banshees,” the bleakly comic story of a friendship gone sour, has BAFTA nominations including best picture, best director and best actor, for Farrell. Nominations for “Everything Everywhere” include nods for co-directors Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert — known jointly as “the Daniels” — and a best-actress nomination for Yeoh.

Leading actress contenders are Yeoh; Blanchett for “Tár”: Viola Davis for “The Woman King”; Danielle Deadwyler for “Till”; Ana de Armas for “Blonde” and Emma Thompson for “Good Luck to You, Leo Grande.”
