If you were looking for the BAFTA Awards to provide some surprises this Oscar season, you will be sorely disappointed. As expected, “Oppenheimer” dominated the night taking Best Film, Director (Christopher Nolan), Lead Actor (Cillian Murphy), Supporting Actor (Robert Downey, Jr.), Original Score (Ludwig Göransson), Cinematography (Hoyte van Hoytema), and Editing (Jennifer Lame). It is the presumptive favorite in many of those categories at the Academy Awards on March 10.

Emma Stone won Best Actress for Yorgos Lanthimos’ “Poor Things.” The Searchlight release took five BAFTAs overall including Costume Design, Production Design, Make Up and Hair, and the Special Visual Effects categories.
As expected, Justine Triet and Arthur Harari won Original Screenplay for “Anatomy of a Fall.” It might surprise some, but Cord Jefferson took Adapted Screenplay for “American Fiction.” The Playlist is predicting Jefferson to take the Adapted Screenplay Oscar over formidable competition.
In the competitive Animated Film category, Hayao Miyazaki‘s “The Boy And The Heron” won the BAFTA less than 24 hours after “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” dominated the 2024 Annie Awards. “20 Days in Mariupol” took another Documentary prize making it the odds on favorite to repeat that win at the Oscars three weeks from today. In another close race, Jonathan Glazer’s “The Zone of Interest” won Film Not in the English Language over fellow Cannes winner “Anataomy of a Fall,” as well as “Past Lives” and “Society of the Snow.” The Glazer drama also took the Sound BAFTA and Outstanding British Film.
“How To Have Sex” star Mia McKenna-Bruce won the EE Rising Star Award voted on by the public.
The BBC produced and broadcast delayed telecast was hosted by David Tennant and featured a super-fun performance of “Murder on the Dance Floor” by the one and only Sophie Ellis-Bextor.
