The 75th EE British Academy Film Awards, known popularly as the BAFTA Awards, took place at London's Royal Albert Hall. The awards ceremony, which was hosted by actress Rebel Wilson, witnessed several historically significant moments on the red carpet as well as during the event.
Actors Benedict Cumberbatch and Stephen Graham expressed their solidarity for Ukraine while making an appearance on the red carpet. Meanwhile, BAFTA chairman Krishnendu Majumdar said everyone was grateful for the journalists and filmmakers who were covering the crisis in Ukraine. He was quoted as saying, “We are hugely grateful to the journalists and filmmakers covering Ukraine, many of whom are BAFTA members, who are bravely reporting and documenting the conflict and humanitarian crisis (sic).”
Moving on to the award-winning films, Dune, which had received the maximum nominations (11) this year, stole the show with five awards, including for Production Design, Special Visual Effects, Cinematography, Sound, and Original Score.
Meanwhile, Jane Campion's The Power of the Dog won the two most prized awards: Best Director and Best Film.
This year’s Leading Actress turned out to be quite a surprise with 60-year-old actress Joanna Scanlan winning it for her performance in After Love. On the other hand, actor Will Smith earned the title of Best Leading Actor for King Richard.
CODA claimed two major wins, one for best supporting actor—Troy Kotsur, who made history by becoming the first auditorily challenged actor to earn an Oscar nomination—and best original screenplay.
Some of the award presenters for the night include Daisy Edgar-Jones, Daniel Kaluuya, Emma Watson, Florence Pugh, RuPaul, Salma Hayek, Sebastian Stan, and Tom Hiddleston.
