Film - 2020 BAFTA Winners
The British Academy of Film and Television Arts has announced the winners of this year's EE British Academy Film Awards. So how did Susan Omand's predictions get on?...
"Prizes for acting... it's not that hard"
The ceremony, hosted by Graham Norton, who was responsible for the above quote in his opening speech, was held at London’s Royal Albert Hall last night and featured performances by Cirque du Soleil and Jessie Buckley, who sang Glasgow from her nominated role in the film Wild Rose.
But it was 1917 that cleaned up at the awards, winning seven trophies altogether out of the 9 it was nominated for, including Best Film and Outstanding British Film, with Sam Mendes receiving the BAFTA for Director and Roger Deakins taking Cinematography. 1917 also won for Production Design, Sound and Special Visual Effects but missed out on Hair & Makeup, which went to Little Women and Original Score which went to Hildur Guðnadóttir for the score to Joker.
Joker also won two other awards, Joaquin Phoenix won Leading Actor and Shayna Markowitz won the inaugural Casting award. Of the other predicted big winners, Parasite only took home two awards, Original Screenplay for Bong Joon Ho and Han Jin Won and Film Not in the English Language, and Once Upon a Time ...In Hollywood and Jojo Rabbit only managed one each.
The Outstanding British Contribution to Cinema Award went to Andy Serkis with Marc Samuelson, Chair of BAFTA’s Film Committee saying at the time the award was announced, “Andy’s work on and off screen has been nothing short of revolutionary, inspiring audiences and his peers alike. His pioneering influence as a performer, an educator, a leading innovator and an employer has helped shape the global film industry and the positive impact will be felt for years to come. He’s a truly remarkable ambassador for our industry and a thoroughly deserving recipient of this year’s outstanding achievement award.”
The Fellowship, the highest honour the Academy can bestow, was presented to producer Kathleen Kennedy by HRH The Duke of Cambridge, President of BAFTA, and Daisy Ridley and John Boyega. [Read Kraig Taylor-Bryant's article about her work here - Ed] When her fellowship was announced in December, Ms Kennedy said "British filmmaking has always played a significant role in both my life and career. The boundless creative vision of artists such as Tom Stoppard, David Lean, Chris Nolan, Stephen Daldry and Peter Morgan continues to inspire me. The recent Star Wars movies – all shot on sound stages and locations across the UK – are just the latest opportunities that I’ve had the privilege to work with British crews and filmmakers, which began in 1980 with Raiders of the Lost Ark and continued with Temple of Doom, Empire of the Sun, Young Sherlock Holmes, War Horse, The Adventures of Tintin, and others. I am deeply honoured to receive the Fellowship from BAFTA, and am incredibly thankful to have worked with so many talented members of our extended family in the British filmmaking community.”
The only award of the night to be voted for by the public was the EE Rising Star award which went to Micheal Ward. Here he is before the ceremony being interviewed on the red carpet.
