The 77th British Academy of Film and Television Arts Awards was held at the Royal Festival Hall in London on Sunday. The award ceremony was hosted by actor David Tennant and saw Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone present an award in the Best Film Not In The English Language category. The big winners of the night included Oppenheimer and Poor Things. The Christopher Nolan film clinched as many as seven awards this year. Emma Stone’s Poor Things, with a total of five awards, followed suit. Oppenheimer swept top prizes such as Best Film, Best Director for Christopher Nolan, Best Actor for Cillian Murphy and Best Supporting Actor for Robert Downey Jr. On the other hand, Emma Stone took home the Best Actress award for her role in the dark comedy Poor Things. Actress Da’Vine Joy Randolph picked up the Best Supporting Actress award for her role in 1970s-set comedy The Holdovers.
Greta Gerwig’s Barbie and Martin Scorsese’s Killers Of The Flower Moon however failed to secure any wins this year at the BAFTAs.
