The EE British Academy Film Awards—or the BAFTAs—were held this weekend, and our Best Picture Oscar frontrunner was pretty much solidified. Alfonso Cuaron’s masterful Netflix drama Roma took home four awards in total: Best Picture, Director, Film Not in the English Language, and Cinematography. Seven of the last 10 Best Film BAFTA winners have gone on to win Best Picture at the Oscars, and the success of Roma could very well signal a very good night for the film at the Academy Awards.
The Favourite, unsurprisingly, took home the most awards of the night with seven in total, including a Best Actress win for Olivia Colman that further muddies one of the toughest categories to predict this year. Yorgos Lanthimos’ darkly comedic film also scored the Best British Film Award, which some thought might go to Bohemian Rhapsody. Instead, the Queen biopic only took two BAFTA awards: Best Actor for Rami Malek and Best Sound. Combined with his SAG and Globes wins, it very much looks like the Mr. Robot actor is well on his way to winning his first Oscar.
Some look to the BAFTA Awards (also referred to as the “British Oscars”) to clarify some key Oscar races because the BAFTA voting procedures mimic those that the Academy uses. There’s no voter overlap, but the BAFTA Awards show us how a large group of diverse industry professionals (i.e. not the random assemblage of folks that make up the Globes) weighs in on the year’s best in film.
Check out the full list of BAFTA Awards winners below, which also includes a Best Animated Film win for Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, Best Adapted Screenplay for BlacKkKlansman, and Best Original Music for A Star Is Born.
