Awards season has travelled across the Atlantic, as it was time for the 71st British Academy Film Awards.
The 2018 BAFTA Awards took place at the Royal Albert Hall in London on Sunday. The night’s big winner was Martin McDonagh’s Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, taking home five awards, including best film, best British film, with Frances McDormand and Sam Rockwell personally claiming best actress and best supporting actor respectively.
Another big winner, taking home the three awards was The Shape of Water with Guillermo Del Toro winning the best directory category, followed by Blade Runner 2049 and Darkest Hour who took home two awards apiece.
Many of Hollywood’s A-list stars such as Jennifer Lawrence, Angelina Jolie and Margot Robbie opted once again for all black ensembles in support of the Time’s Up initiative. Big winner of the night, McDormand didn’t wear all-black, but did say as she took the stage to accept the award for best actress, “as Martin said I have a little trouble with compliance but I want you to know I stand in alliance with my sisters in black.”
Taking home the prize for best actor was Gary Olman for his role as Winston Churchill in Joe Wright’s Darkest Hour. This was his first best actor BAFTA after three nominations.
It was a big night for Hollywood, but it was also filled with majestic charm as Prince William and Kate Middleton were in attendance. The seven-month pregnant Duchess of Cambridge looked absolutely gorgeous in a dark green Jenny Packham gown with cap-sleeves and a black ribbon to accentuate her baby bump. Prince William also looked absolutely dashing in a black and white suit.
