I assume that each studio is asked to submit a list of three nominees, which the BAFTA members then select from when making their shortlist. It's possible - if a company knows their list will be published - that they might submit names for other reasons than being the best performances. If one or more people are shoe-ins, a third person might be included just for a nice bit of recognition, something to go on their resume.
Obviously I think Dave Jones is amazing and deserves all sorts of awards, but he may just be on the list for recognition, not as a "serious" nomination. After all, it's pretty impressive for a part-time actor who got into all this late in life to be on a list like this at all. But I'm just speculating.
I'm not saying, Dave does a bad job, just that his role was pretty one note and easy and compared to the characters listed, Ethel, Gortash, Mol, Orin, Ketheric..., he is just ... bland.
I guess, there is nothing to worry though, since there is no way, the Raphael actor isn't getting that trophy. He gets praise all over the internet for his performance and rightfully so. He learned to sing for this role and did such a great job.
And yes, if Borislav doesn't get recognition here, I have to riot... politely of course.
