The British nominations were led by 1917 along with Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, which was co-produced by the United States. 1917 led in the technical categories with multiple wins in cinematography, sound, special effects, and production design. Notably, a number of British technicians were nominated for non-British films such as Le Mans '66, , and Ad Astra. Marriage Story and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, both British-American co-productions, unanimously won the Best Supporting Actress and Actor awards respectively.
