The stars and artists behind the biggest films of 2023 descended on London this weekend for the BAFTA Film Awards. British film’s biggest night is often seen as the best predictor of Oscar momentum before the Academy Awards and the results often mirror each other.

If that’s the case this year, it will be all “Oppenheimer” all the time. Universal’s Christopher Nolan epic took home many of the night’s biggest categories, winning the top prize of Best Film along with Best Director for Nolan, Leading Actor for Cillian Murphy, and Supporting Actor for Robert Downey Jr. The film also picked up major craft wins for Cinematography, Editing, and Original Score.

While the dominant showing makes an “Oppenheimer” Oscar sweep seem even more likely, Yorgos Lanthimos’ “Poor Things” won for Costume Design, Makeup & Hair, Production Design, and Visual Effects, and star Emma Stone won Leading Actress for her...

The BAFTA Awards were presented on February 18 by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA). So who prevailed? Scroll down for the complete 2024 BAFTA Awards winners list in all categories.

BAFTA is an independent arts charity that comprises thousands of industry insiders, much like the American motion picture academy. The BAFTAs could well give us a preview of what the Oscars might do in three weeks time on March 10. And with voting for the Oscars kicking off on February 22, this precursor could have an outsized influence.

Until 2013, the entire BAFTA membership decided the nominees in a complicated two-part process that involved a lot of longlists with the general membership deciding the semi-finalists and the branches making the final determination of the nominees. This was replaced in 2013 by a system more akin to the Oscars where nominations were determined by each branch (except for Best Picture). Two years ago,...

There were numerous shocks and surprises among this year’s list of BAFTA nominees. Most of the headlines were dedicated to “Barbie” and its omission from both the best film and director categories, while many saw Andrew Scott’s failure be nominated for his lead role in “All of Us Strangers” an unforgivable snub.

But away from the big, buzzy studio titles with plenty of publicity-fueled firepower behind them, a small, very low-budget British documentary landed an unexpected — but very welcome — slot in the outstanding debut by a British writer, director or producer category.

A deeply personal and unflinching portrait of a life touched by addiction, “Blue Bag Life” draws on photos and videos taken over many years by the artist Lisa Selby that she had originally been posting to an Instagram account. Following the death of her estranged addict mother and her partner’s relapse and incarceration, Selby embarks...

Oppenheimer continues with its awards season domination, picking up 13 2024 Ee BAFTA Film Awards nominations. BAFTA also found a lot to admire in Poor Things, nominating it 11 times in categories including Best Film and Leading Actress (Emma Stone).

Killers of the Flower Moon and The Zone of Interest received nine nominations, followed by Anatomy of a Fall, The Holdovers, and Maestro with seven. All of Us Strangers was nominated in six categories, and Barbie and Saltburn received five nominations.

“The 38 films nominated by BAFTA voters today span an extraordinary range of genres and stories. The field this year is incredibly strong. More films were entered, making the selection process particularly tough for our voting members. The films and talented people nominated represent some of the most talked about films of the year,...

It’s BAFTA time! The full list of nominees for the biggest day in the British film industry calendar have just been revealed.

A few surprise additions and snubs in this year’s list. Lily Gladstone was crowded out of a packed Lead Actress category in favour of Rye Lane's Vivian Oparah, despite winning the Best Drama Performance at the Golden Globes last week. Martin Scorsese has also missed out on a Best Director nod for Killers Of The Flower Moon, while Emerald Fennel’s Saltburn surprisingly dominated the acting categories, with tips for Barry Keoghan, Jacob Elordi and Rosamund Pike.

It’s good news, though, for Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer and Yorgos Lanthimos’ Poor Things, with 13 and 11 nominations apiece. Scorsese’s Killers Of The Flower Moon follows on nine,...

Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” appears to be the film to beat going into the 2024 BAFTA Film Awards, having landed 13 nominations, with the director’s most successful film in the U.K. in terms of box office now becoming its most-nominated on home soil.

Announced Thursday from London, the atomic bomb biopic is nominated for best film, director (which could earn Nolan his shocking first-ever BAFTA), leading actor for Cillian Murphy and supporting nods for both Emily Blunt and Robert Downey Jr.

Close behind sits Yorgos Lanthimos’ steampunk black comedy “Poor Things” with 11 nominations, including for best film and actress for Emma Stone.

But for all the achievements of “Oppenheimer” and “Poor Things,” the biggest talking point is likely to be the snubbing of Greta Gerwig’s box office destroying cultural phenomenon “Barbie” across so many categories.

The film went into the nominations tied with both “Oppenheimer” and “Killers of the Flower Moon” with 15 Longlist slots.

Universal’s The Super Mario Bros. Movie will smash the record for widest UK-Ireland opening by an animated film this weekend, starting its run in 721 sites.

That is 31 sites above the 690-site opening for the previous record holder, Disney’s Toy Story 4 from 2019.

Adapted from the best-selling Nintendo game series, The Super Mario Bros. Movie tells the story of two Italian-American siblings trying to get their plumbing business off the ground, who are accidentally drawn into a battle to save a magical land called the Mushroom Kingdom.

Doc previously had world premiere at Berlinale.

Under The Sky Of Damascus by Talal Derki, Heba Khaled and Ali Wajeeh won the Golden Alexander prize in the international competition of the 25th Thessaloniki Documentary Festival, which closed on March 12.

The Denmark-Germany-us-Syrian co-production centres on a group of young Syrian women producing a play that lays bare the culture of misogyny and sexual abuse that has blighted their lives. The documentary had its world premiere in the Panorama section of this year Berlinale.

The Golden Alexander comes with a €12,000 and secures the place in the pre-selection shortlist for the Best Documentary Academy Award.

Paraphernalia is a word that comes fully loaded. It could be any miscellany but it is also, particularly, associated with the trappings of drug use. Trappings, indeed, is also an appropriate word for an activity that often snares not just the user but anyone who happens to be in their orbit.

There's paraphernalia aplenty in this film from Lisa Selby - whose life it considers - co-directing with Rebecca Lloyd-Evans and Alex Fry. For a start, there's the explosion of paraphernalia in her estranged mother Helen's home - not just the twists of blue bags used to hold drugs, which give this film its title, but everything, everywhere, all at once. There's a tangle of tapes, spuds in a bag on the floor, clothes slumped in a mountain in the corner.

Then, there's the unseen paraphernalia of emotions that Selby feels not just about her difficult relationship with her mother...

The documentary picked up the audience award at Lff and Hainan.
