BAFTA Award Winners 2017

On Sunday evening, the 70th annual EE British Academy Film Awards (BAFTAs), were held at the Royal Albert Hall, marking one of the biggest nights in the entertainment calendar with Stephen Fry once again presenting the ceremony. There were no surprises as to who the big winners were on the night…

Heading into the ceremony, LA LA LAND led the pack of films with 11 nominations, followed by ARRIVAL and NOCTURNAL ANIMALS with nine each. MANCHESTER BY THE SEA had six, while the British contingent was led by I, DANIEL BLAKE, LION, FLORENCE FOSTER JENKINS and FANTASTIC BEASTS AND WHERE TO FIND THEM, with four. MOONLIGHT and HACKSAW RIDGE also earned four.

LA LA LAND picked up six big wins with Director Damien Chazelle winning for the uplifting Hollywood musical, as did Emma Stone in the Best Leading Actress category.

Ryan Gosling lost out to fellow Golden Globe winner Casey Affleck, who is definitely looking the hot favourite now to win at the Oscars later this month for his performance in MANCHESTER BY THE SEA. 

“This is an honour I’ll never forget,” said Affleck. “The reason I act is when I was a young kid my mum took me to Alcohol Anonymous meetings for children of alcoholics. It was therapy but it was acting and acting has sort of been that for me ever since.”

The film’s director, Kenneth Lonergan also won the BAFTA for best original screenplay.

LA LA LAND also took the top prizes for Best Film, Original Music, Costume and Cinematography.

Viola Davis took the gong in the Best Supporting Actress categories for FENCES, waving off tough competition Hayley Squires (I, DANIEL BLAKE), Michelle Williams (MANCHESTER BY THE SEA), Naomie Harris (MOONLIGHT) and Nicole Kidman (LION).

British star Dev Patel was overwhelmed as he was awarded the Best Supporting Actor gong for his role in Garth Davis’ film, LION.

“Wow, that just happened,” he said on taking to the stage. “This is so overwhelming. I sit at home and watch this with my family, who are here with me tonight.”

Tom Holland won the EE Rising Star Award seeing off competition from the likes of Anya Taylor-Joy, Lucas Hedges, Ruth Negga and Laia Costa.
