The BAFTA awards ceremony took place in London, recognising outstanding achievements in film. The Conclave won Best Film, while Brady Corbet received Best Director for The Brutalist. Mikey Madison and Adrien Brody took home the top acting honours.
The British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) held its annual awards ceremony at the Royal Festival Hall in London, widely regarded as a key event leading up to the Oscars.
The Best Film award went to The Conclave, a thriller about the election of a new Pope. The film triumphed over competitors Anora, The Brutalist, Perfect Stranger, and Emilia Perez.
Best Director was awarded to Brady Corbet for The Brutalist, a sweeping three-hour drama about an architect who survived the Holocaust. Other nominees included Sean Baker (Anora), Edward Berger (The Conclave), Denis Villeneuve (Dune: Part Two), Jacques Audiard (Emilia Perez), and Coralie Fargeat (The Substance).
Mikey Madison won Best Actress for her role in Anora, while Best Actor went to Adrien Brody for his portrayal of Hungarian architect László Tóth in The Brutalist, a character who flees the Holocaust and builds a new life in the United States.
The award for Best Film Not in the English Language was given to Emilia Perez, a crime-comedy musical directed by Jacques Audiard.
In the short film category, Best British Short Film was awarded to Rock, Paper, Scissors, directed by Franz Böhm. Starring Ukrainian actor Oleksandr Rudinsky, the film portrays the early days of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
