The Favourite led the way at this year’s BAFTA ceremony and topped the list of winners with a total of seven awards. Despite the enormous triumph of this royal satire, the Mexican black and white drama Roma scored a victory in several major categories, including the most important one – best film.
The Favourite was a front-runner from the very start since BAFTA often lean in the way of films made in the UK. In addition to winning
The Favourite also came out victorious in several technical categories and won best original screenplay award thanks to exceptional work of Deborah Davis and Tony McNamara. Alfonso Cuarón’s semi-autobiographical movie Roma picked up a total of four awards, including best film, best director, best cinematography and best foreign film.
This year’s BAFTA ceremony took place at Royal Albert Hall in London on February 10 and it was hosted by Joanna Lumley.
