Netflix's All Quiet on the Western Front on Thursday tied as the most-nominated foreign language film in British cinema history, receiving 14 nods for glory at the upcoming Baftas.
German director Edward Berger's anti-war movie ties with Ang Lee's Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, which won the same number of nominations in 2001.
Elsewhere this year, dark comedy The Banshees of Inisherin and science-fiction comedy-drama Everything Everywhere All At Once, both received 10 nominations, as voted for by Bafta members.
Elvis, Baz Luhrmann's biopic of the king of rock 'n' roll, received nine nominations, with classical music psychological drama Tár in line for five awards.
The awards ceremony, the highlight of the annual British film calendar and often seen as a forerunner to the Oscars in March, takes place in London on 19 February.
Bafta chairman Krishnendu Majumdar said the shortlist demonstrated "what an amazing range of work is being made at the moment, we've rewarded big blockbuster movies like Elvis to intense kind of auteur-driven movies like Tár".
He hopes that the success of Top Gun 2 and Elvis heralds a revival of cinema following lockdown.
"It's crucial that people go to the cinema, it's part of our culture," he told AFP.
"It's amazing to go to the cinema or sit in a darkened room, the lights go down, and it's a communal experience to see film projected on a screen.
"It really fires the imagination and hopes and dreams."
Avengers: Endgame actor Hayley Atwell, who co-announced the shortlist, praised the "variety in genre... and size of film, that we're seeing in the nominations this year.
"It shows that there is the audience, and they're diverse in what they want. And so there is room for lots of different kinds of storytelling," she told AFP.
