Fact Check: Has ‘Marty Supreme’ tied record for most losses for a single film at BAFTA ever?

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Timothee Chalamet starrer 'Marty Supreme' earned strong reviews for its kinetic direction, Chalamet's acting, and bold style. At the 2026 BAFTA Film Awards on Sunday, February 22, the film received 11 nominations.

Interestingly, following the awards ceremony, a rumor surfaced online claiming that 'Marty Supreme' tied the record for most losses for a single film at BAFTA ever. But is there any truth to this viral claim? Let us find out below.

Claim: 'Marty Supreme' tied record for most losses for a single film at BAFTA ever

Several X posts claimed that 'Marty Supreme' tied the record for most losses, 11, for a single film at BAFTA ever. An X account posted, "‘MARTY SUPREME’ has tied the record for most losses for a singular film at the BAFTAs ever."

Similarly, another X account posted, "'MARTY SUPREME' ties for the most losses at the BAFTAs ever. It joins 'WOMEN IN LOVE' and 'FINDING NEVERLAND' as films that had 11 nominations at the BAFTAs and lost every single nomination."

Meanwhile, an X page also mentioned, "#BAFTA 2026: Marty Supreme made history for the wrong reason—tying the record for most losses by a single film despite heavy nominations."

Interestingly, the film remains a major contender with nine Oscar nominations heading into the 2026 Academy Awards, including Best Film, Director, and Actor.

Fact Check: True, news reports confirm the claim

The claims made in the online posts are true, as 'Marty Supreme' received 11 nominations at the 2026 BAFTA Film Awards but won zero awards. Several reputable news outlets covered this.

Interestingly, the A24 contender joined 'Women in Love' (1969) and 'Finding Neverland' (2004) as the only films to go winless with 11 nominations.

Meanwhile, both of the titles still went on to win a single Oscar on their respective nights - Glenda Jackson for best actress for 'Women in Love' and Jan AP Kaczmarek for original score for 'Finding Neverland'. 

At BAFTA 2026, 'Marty Supreme' was nominated for best film, best director, leading actor, supporting actress, casting, original screenplay, production design, cinematography, costume design, film editing, and makeup and hairstyling. 

Additionally, at the Oscars, the film is nominated for nine, but misses nominations for supporting actress, makeup and hairstyling. Despite the setback at BAFTA, 'Marty Supreme' remains a formidable contender in the wider awards conversation.
