In a statement on its website, Bafta said: “In light of recent very serious allegations, Bafta has informed Bryan Singer that his nomination for Bohemian Rhapsody has been suspended, effective immediately”.
Bafta has removed Bryan Singer from its nominations ahead of its film awards ceremony on Sunday.
In January, the Atlantic magazine published an article containing a number of sexual misconduct allegations against Singer, including claims of underage sex.
Singer was fired from Bohemian Rhapsody before filming ended, and was replaced by Dexter Fletcher; however Singer remains the sole credited director owing to union regulations.
