]]>The Favourite received 13 nods at BIFA Awards and only ended up losing three of them. It proved its worth in all the major categories, including best picture, director and screenplay. Olivia Colman and Rachel Weisz proved to be serious Oscar contenders after picking up acting honors in the respective categories.
The Favourite tells the story of frail Queen Anne and two women desperately fighting for her attention – her long-term confidante Sarah Churchill and young newcomer Abigail Hill. It premiered at Venice International Film Festival to rave reviews and won Grand Jury Prize and the Volpi Cup.

]]>Yorgos Lanthimos’ latest film tells the story of a frail Queen Anne and two women fighting for her attention. Olivia Colman, who already emerged as an Oscar favorite, will test the ground at the upcoming BIFA ceremony where she received a nomination for best actress. Both her co-stars, Emma Stone and Rachel Weisz, got nods in the best-supporting-actress category.
The Favourite won’t hit theaters until November 23, but it already had a world premiere at the Venice International Film Festival. It was met with critical acclaim and received two major awards – the Grand Jury Prize and the Volpi Cup for Best Actress. We can’t wait to see if it replicates the same success at this year’s British Independent Film Awards on December 2, when the ceremony takes place.

]]>The Favourite received 13 nods at BIFA Awards and only ended up losing three of them. It proved its worth in all the major categories, including best picture, director and screenplay. Olivia Colman and Rachel Weisz proved to be serious Oscar contenders after picking up acting honors in the respective categories.
The Favourite tells the story of frail Queen Anne and two women desperately fighting for her attention – her long-term confidante Sarah Churchill and young newcomer Abigail Hill. It premiered at Venice International Film Festival to rave reviews and won Grand Jury Prize and the Volpi Cup.

]]>Yorgos Lanthimos’ latest film tells the story of a frail Queen Anne and two women fighting for her attention. Olivia Colman, who already emerged as an Oscar favorite, will test the ground at the upcoming BIFA ceremony where she received a nomination for best actress. Both her co-stars, Emma Stone and Rachel Weisz, got nods in the best-supporting-actress category.
The Favourite won’t hit theaters until November 23, but it already had a world premiere at the Venice International Film Festival. It was met with critical acclaim and received two major awards – the Grand Jury Prize and the Volpi Cup for Best Actress. We can’t wait to see if it replicates the same success at this year’s British Independent Film Awards on December 2, when the ceremony takes place.
