After months of strategising, grafting and campaigning, awards season in Hollywood is finally in motion. The Golden Globes came and went, with the top prize going to Steven Spielberg’s The Fabelmans, and actors like Michelle Yeoh, Austin Butler and Angela Bassett winning the top acting prizes. But last night brought the BAFTAs, and in an unprecedented move, an almost entirely new set of stars took home the big prizes.
It might still be the frontrunner for Best Picture at the Oscars, but Everything Everywhere All at Once went home with just one BAFTA for Best Editing. Instead, a new film came into sweep: Netflix’s terrifying take on the classic German anti-war novel, All Quiet on the Western Front. It took home seven prizes: a handful of technicals, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Director and the coveted Best Film prize too.
Performance-wise, Austin Butler won Best Actor for his turn as Elvis in Baz Luhrmann’s biopic; Cate Blanchett won Best Actress for TÁR, and two new talents came in to win the supporting prizes, both for the Irish black comedy, The Banshees of Inisherin: Barry Keoghan and Kerry Condon. What’s more, our favourite Aftersun won Best British Debut.
