What happened: Dwayne Johnson and George Clooney were not included on the Baftas longlist, which highlights potential Oscar contenders.
Why it matters:
- The Baftas often predict Oscar winners, so their absence may affect awards season expectations.
- Fans and industry observers may reconsider the chances of these actors winning major awards this year.
MNN Take: The Baftas longlist is a key step in the awards process, and missing it can influence an actor's visibility and prospects during awards season.
