Olivia Colman shines in Paddington in Peru as awards buzz builds

Olivia Colman stars in "Paddington in Peru," the third film in the Paddington franchise, which has opened to strong box office success in the UK. Colman plays a mysterious nun, earning praise for her performance, similar to Hugh Grant's role in "Paddington 2." The film has set records for the biggest British opening weekend and is expected to resonate with BAFTA voters. Colman may receive a nomination for best supporting actress, following Grant's previous recognition for the franchise. However, "Paddington in Peru" will not be eligible for the Oscars due to its U.S. release date in January 2024, which does not meet the Academy's requirements. Despite this, the film is likely to be nominated for outstanding British film and the new children's and family film award at the BAFTAs.
