BAFTA Awards winners: Top prizes that bring home “Conclave”, “Anola” and “Brutal”

“Conclave” won the best film title at the EE British Academy Film Awards, held at Royal Festival Hall in London on Sunday.

Starring Ralph Fiennes and directed by Edward Berger, the film is a thriller about the choice of a new Pope. On Sunday, he received four awards, the UK equivalent of the Oscar, commonly known as BAFTAS. The other three prizes were in minor categories, including the best editing, the best adaptation script, and outstanding British films.

In securing the best film award, “Conclave” defeated Sean Baker's “Anora.” This is a drama in which an exotic dancer marries the son of a Russian oligarch, and life in the United States after the Holocaust, where he blames him for Brady Corbett's “Brutalist,” Jewish architect (Adrian Brody).

He also won the Bob Dylan biopics “The Complete Unknown” and “Emilia Perez.”

“Conclave” was not previously featured among the major winners of this awards season. At the ceremony where “Emilia Perez” and “Brutalist” were big winners, we only secured one Golden Globe for the best script. More recently, Oscar has rocked towards “Anora” after Oscar won major honors at this year's Critics Choice Ceremony and the American Director Guild Guild of America Awards.

However, the salience of “Conclave” at BAFTAS gives the film momentum to this year's Academy Awards, scheduled for March 2nd. Both award voting agencies and BAFTA and Oscars regularly have the same winners.

The cast and crew of “Conclave” looked surprised when the best film awards were announced. Isabella Rossellini, who plays the nun in the film, smiles happily throughout Berger's acceptance speech.

In the category of Best Directors, Corbett is the winner of the “Brutalist”: Burger, Baker (“Anola”), Jack Audido (“Emilia Perez”), Dennis Villeneuve (“Dune: Part 2”), Coralie Fergitty We won with the Tees. (“Material,” a body horror gloss out about a washed-down TV star played by Demi Moore).

“The Brutalist” had a strong night, with Brody winning the award for Best Lead Actor and taking four awards home with “Conclave.” In that category he is Fiennes (“Conclave”), Colman Domingo (“sing”), Hugh Grant (“heretic”), Timothy Chalamett (“the complete unknown”), and Sebastian Stan (“Apprentice”). I defeated it.

In the major actress categories, Mikey Madison is “Anora”, Beshing Moore, Cynthia Eribo (“Evil”), Marianne Jean Baptist (“Hard Truth”), and Sauers Ronan (“Outrun”). I won in my role. .

In her acceptance speech, Madison asked for a moment “to recognize the sex worker community,” and said, “I will meet you. You deserve respect and human decency.”

Karla Sofía Gascón was also a candidate for Best Actress for “Emilia Pérez”, but she didn't attend the ceremony, but an old social media post in which journalists made some dim-like comments about Muslims and George Floyd and others It was held several weeks after it resurfaced. .

When Audido accepted the award for the best films not in English, he thanked “My Dear Cara Sofia” along with the rest of the “Emilia Perez” star. Zoe Saldanya checked out Gascon, especially when she accepted the Best Supporting Actress Award. Best Supporting Actor Award went to Kieran Culkin for “real pain.”
