Film - BAFTA Awards

The 2017 British Academy Film Awards have been announced, here's the full list...

The big winner of the night was Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri which picked up 5 awards from its 9 nominations including Best Film and Outstanding British Film, with Martin McDonagh winning Original Screenplay, Sam Rockwell taking Supporting Actor and Frances McDormand receiving the BAFTA for Leading Actress.

The Shape of Water won three awards from its 12 nominations and this gave Guillermo del Toro the BAFTA for Best Director. Composer Alexandre Desplat collected the Original Music award, his third BAFTA win; the film also won Production Design.

Gary Oldman won Leading Actor for Darkest Hour, one of only 2 awards for the film, as it also won the award for Make Up & Hair. Great news for Oldman but surprising for the film to only get two because it was joint second in the number of nominations it received, with 9.

Even more surprising is that Blade Runner 2049 also only got two awards and Dunkirk got just the one, all in technical categories, despite the fact they were up for 8 nominations apiece.

News that excited us here was the BAFTA for Best Supporting Actress which went to Allison Janney for her role as Tonya Harding’s mother in I, Tonya. And it was very good to see that the South Korean drama, The Handmaiden picked up the award for Best Film Not in the English Language.

The Special Award for Outstanding British Contribution to Cinema was presented to the National Film and Television School (NFTS). The school has trained generations of BAFTA-nominated film talent; this year’s British Short Animation award was won by Poles Apart, which is the 13th NFTS graduation film to win a BAFTA.

The Rising Star Award, the only BAFTA voted for by the public, went to Black Panther's Daniel Kaluuya. Daniel shot to fame last year in the American genre film, Get Out, the film for which he won an MTV Movie Award and was most recently nominated for a Golden Globe, Screen Actor’s Guild Award and Gotham Award in the category of Best Actor. Already known for his roles in hit TV shows, Skins, Psychoville and Black Mirror, Kaluuya has also starred in a slew of big screen feature films, including crime thriller Sicario, Johnny English Reborn and Kick Ass 2 and, after Black Panther which hit cinemas at the weekend, he has a starring role in Steve McQueen’s upcoming heist thriller, Widows.

The Fellowship, the highest honour the Academy can bestow was presented to director and producer Sir Ridley Scott by HRH The Duke of Cambridge, President of BAFTA, and Sir Kenneth Branagh. The Award is given annually in recognition of an outstanding and exceptional contribution to film, games or television. Fellows previously honoured for their work in film include Charlie Chaplin, Alfred Hitchcock, Steven Spielberg, Stanley Kubrick, Laurence Olivier and Martin Scorsese. Mel Brooks received the Fellowship at last year’s Film Awards. This is not the first time Scott has been awarded a BAFTA. As well as five BAFTA Nominations over the years, in the 1992 British Academy Film Awards, Scott received BAFTA’s Special Award, and at the 1995 Film Awards he received the Outstanding British Contribution to Cinema Award alongside his brother Tony.

The awards were announced at a lavish ceremony at the Royal Albert Hall hosted by Joanna Lumley, which was opened by the Cirque du Soleil's superb OVO, inspired by The Shape of Water.
