Another BAFTA ceremony is behind us, and masterminds behind The Power of the Dog and Dune had a reason to celebrate at the end of the night. Jane Campion’s wester drama picked up the award for best film, while Denis Villeneuve’s sci-fi epic walked away with a total of five awards.
The Power of the Dog was running against Belfast, Dune, Don’t Look Up, and Licorice Pizza in the best film category, but it managed to beat tough competition to pick up this trophy. Campion was named the best director, becoming the third woman to ever collect this award.
Dune came into the ceremony with high expectations, after topping the list of nominees with 11 nods. It managed to win five of these awards—best cinematography, production design, special visual effects, sound, and original score.
The acting categories brought one of the biggest surprises of the night our way, with underdog Joanna Scanlan picking up the award for best actress with After Love. The rest of the winners were easier to predict—Will Smith (King Richard) was named best actor, while Troy Kotsur (CODA) and Ariana DeBose (West Side Story) dominated supporting categories.
The 75th British Academy Film Awards took place on March 13th at the Royal Albert Hall in London, with Rebel Wilson hosting the ceremony.
