BAFTA 2019 - The Winners

500 Days Of Film Reviews The Nominations For BAFTA 2019

The Favourite took home the most awards at the 2019 Baftas. Yorgos Lanthimos’s dark comedy, period drama started the evening with 12 noms and walked away with seven wins including Outstanding British Film, Leading Actress for Olivia Colman and Supporting Actress for Rachel Weisz.

 

However, The Favourite did not scoop up all the awards... Roma won Best Film, Best Cinematography and Best Director for Alfonso Cuaron. BlacKkKlansman won Best Adapted Screenplay,  Star Is Born won the award for Best Original Music and Vice won Best Editing.

  

Meanwhile, Free Solo won Best Documentary, Spider-man: Into The Spiderverse won Best Animated Film and Black Panther won the award for Best Visual Effects.

 

Here are the winners (in bold) and nominees in full. What I would have chosen (if I was in charge) is highlighted in red.

Rising Stars

Meanwhile, the nominees for the Bafta EE Rising Star Award, announced last week, are:

  • Barry Keoghan
  • Cynthia Erivo
  • Jessie Buckley

  • Letitia Wright

The award is voted for by the British public and presented to an actress or actor who has demonstrated exceptional talent and has begun to capture the imagination of the UK public.

 

Bafta 2019 takes place on Sunday 10 February at the Royal Albert Hall, London. The ceremony will be hosted by Joanna Lumley. Whatever you think about movie awards, they certainly get us talking about films and that is never a bad thing.
