This year’s award season is slowly nearing its final stage, and the BAFTAs is the latest ceremony to announce its winners. The Power of the Dog walked away with the trophy for best film, while Dune topped the awards tally with a total of five awards in craft categories.
Jane Campion’s western drama managed to beat Belfast, Dune, Don’t Look Up, and Licorice Pizza to win the award for the best movie. Campion also won the award for the best director but lost the screenwriting award to CODA’s Sian Heder.
It was also a big night for Dune, which topped the list of nominees with a total of 11 nods, and managed to walk away with five awards. Denis Villeneuve’s sci-fi epic collected trophies for best cinematography, production design, special visual effects, sound, and original score.
When it comes to the acting categories, front-runner Will Smith collected another award for King Richard, while dark horse Joanna Scanlan was named best actress for After Love. Troy Kotsur (CODA) and Ariana DeBose (West Side Story) came out victorious in the supporting categories. Lashana Lynch picked up EE Rising Star Award, the only award voted by the public.
