Additionally, Clare Binns, Creative Director of Picture House Cinemas, will be presented with the BAFTA Outstanding British Contribution to Cinema award.
The honour recognises her role in championing diverse and fiercely independent work on big screens around the United Kingdom.
One Battle After Another will be no doubt be hoping to win one award after another, with Paul Thomas Anderson’s latest film earning a remarkable fourteen nominations at this year’s ceremony.
But it faces stiff competition, notably from supernatural horror Sinners, with thirteen nominations, and Hamnet, director Chloé Zhao’s moving drama about the death of Shakespeare’s only son, with eleven.
Adapted for the screen from Maggie O’Farrell’s award-winning novel about the Bard’s family life, Hamnet has broken the record for the most nominations for a female-directed film in BAFTA history.
Irish star Jessie Buckley has been nominated for her lead role in the film after already scoring a Golden Globe and a Critics Choice Award and nominations for the Academy Awards and Screen Actors Guild Awards.
Co-star Paul Mescal, who was was snubbed during Oscar nominations, will also be hoping for an award after earning a Supporting Actor BAFTA nod.
Elsewhere, Marty Supreme and Timothée Chalamet will be hoping to make it three times lucky after earning eleven BAFTA nominations, including Best Film and Best Actor, following recent wins at the Golden Globes and Critics Choice Awards.
Frankenstein and Sentimental Value each have eight whilst there are five nominations for I Swear and Bugonia, and three nominations for The Ballad of Wallis Island, Pillion and F1.
Also vying for the Leading Actress BAFTA are Rose Byrne for If I Had Legs I’d Kick You; Kate Hudson for Song Sung Blue; Chase Infiniti for One Battle After Another; Renate Reinsve for Sentimental Value and Emma Stone for Bugonia.
Leonardo DiCaprio could earn his second ever BAFTA after scoring his seventh nomination, this year for his Leading Actor performance in the already heavily decorated movie One Battle After Another.
First time BAFTA Film nominees include Robert Aramayo, Odessa A’zion, Rose Byrne, Chase Infiniti, Michael B. Jordan, Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas, Stellan Skarsgård, and Teyana Taylor.
Emma Baehr, Executive Director of Awards and Content, said: ‘We are delighted to welcome so many of this year’s remarkable nominees to London for the EE BAFTA Film Awards, a vibrant celebration of the creativity, craft and collaboration that goes into British and global cinema.
‘It’s especially exciting to have such an impressive lineup of presenters joining us on the night, representing the very best of film and the wider creative industries.
‘This year’s ceremony is set to be an unforgettable occasion for audiences at home and in the room.’
A sea of famous faces including Paul Mescal, Hannah Waddingham, Rose Byrne and Sadie Sink will be arriving for the event later
