It’s a huge Sunday in the entertainment world. Shortly, the Super Bowl will start, pitting the Kansas City Chiefs against the San Francisco 49ers. However, this afternoon also saw the 73rd British Academy Film Awards being held. Better known as BAFTA, this group often can hold some major sway over Oscar voters, so seeing as how this ceremony went down in the midst of Academy Award voting, it’s very much worth paying attention to. Now that the results are known, we can run down what happened and begin to figure out how much impact it will have on the Academy overall. BAFTA gave a small boost to Parasite, having it win Best Original Screenplay. However, Best Film and Best Director went to 1917 and Sam Mendes, respectively. 1917 seems locked in to win Director at Oscar, with the Best Picture situation a pick-em. It may just come down to how much you back statistics against gut feeling. More on that soon. The acting winners were all as expected, keeping the show from having too many surprises. Bellow are the winners… Here now are all of the BAFTA results: BEST FILM WINNER – 1917 Pippa Harris, Callum McDougall, Sam Mendes, Jayne-Ann Tenggren THE IRISHMAN Robert De Niro, Jane Rosenthal, Martin Scorsese, Emma Tillinger Koskoff JOKER Bradley Cooper, Todd Phillips, Emma Tillinger Koskoff ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD David Heyman, Shannon McIntosh, Quentin Tarantino PARASITE Bong Joon-ho, Kwak Sin-ae OUTSTANDING BRITISH FILM WINNER – 1917 Sam Mendes, Pippa Harris, Callum McDougall, Jayne-Ann Tenggren, Krysty Wilson-Cairns BAIT Mark Jenkin, Kate Byers, Linn Waite FOR SAMA Waad al-Kateab, Edward Watts ROCKETMAN Dexter Fletcher, Adam Bohling, David Furnish, David Reid, Matthew Vaughn, Lee Hall SORRY WE MISSED YOU Ken Loach, Rebecca O’Brien, Paul Laverty THE TWO POPES Fernando Meirelles, Jonathan Eirich, Dan Lin, Tracey Seaward, Anthony McCarten OUTSTANDING DEBUT BY A BRITISH WRITER, DIRECTOR OR PRODUCER WINNER – BAIT Mark Jenkin (Writer/Director), Kate Byers, Linn Waite (Producers) FOR SAMA Waad al-Kateab (Director/Producer), Edward Watts (Director) MAIDEN Alex Holmes (Director) ONLY YOU Harry Wootliff (Writer/Director) RETABLO Álvaro Delgado-Aparicio (Writer/Director) (Note: Also written by Héctor Gálvez) FILM NOT IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE THE FAREWELL Lulu Wang, Daniele Melia FOR SAMA Waad al-Kateab, Edward Watts PAIN AND GLORY Pedro Almodóvar, Agustín Almodóvar WINNER – PARASITE Bong Joon-ho PORTRAIT OF A LADY ON FIRE Céline Sciamma, Bénédicte Couvreur DOCUMENTARY AMERICAN FACTORY Steven Bognar, Julia Reichert APOLLO 11 Todd Douglas Miller DIEGO MARADONA Asif Kapadia WINNER – FOR SAMA Waad al-Kateab, Edward Watts THE GREAT HACK Karim Amer, Jehane Noujaim ANIMATED FILM FROZEN 2 Chris Buck, Jennifer Lee, Peter Del Vecho WINNER – KLAUS Sergio [...]
