By Fabio Crispim

Awards season is upon us and the 2018 BAFTA nominations have been released.

Acclaimed gay drama Call Me By Your Name has been nominated for five awards including Best film and Best director. Timothée Chalamet, who stars in the film, has earned nominations for Best actor as well as the Rising Star award.
