The stars and artists behind the biggest films of 2023 descended on London this weekend for the BAFTA Film Awards. British film’s biggest night is often seen as the best predictor of Oscar momentum before the Academy Awards and the results often mirror each other.
If that’s the case this year, it will be all “Oppenheimer” all the time. Universal’s Christopher Nolan epic took home many of the night’s biggest categories, winning the top prize of Best Film along with Best Director for Nolan, Leading Actor for Cillian Murphy, and Supporting Actor for Robert Downey Jr. The film also picked up major craft wins for Cinematography, Editing, and Original Score.
While the dominant showing makes an “Oppenheimer” Oscar sweep seem even more likely, Yorgos Lanthimos’ “Poor Things” won for Costume Design, Makeup & Hair, Production Design, and Visual Effects, and star Emma Stone won Leading Actress for her role as re-animated Frankenstein stand-in Bella Baxter.
“Anatomy of a Fall” and “American Fiction” won the Original and Adapted Screenplay categories, respectively. Alexander Payne’s “The Holdovers” also had a strong showing, winning Supporting Actress for Oscar frontrunner Da’Vine Joy Randolph along with Best Casting.
Keep reading for a complete list of winners at the 2024 BAFTA Awards.
