BAFTA Film Awards

Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer was the big winner at the 2024 BAFTA Film Awards. The ceremony took place on Sunday (Feb. 18) at London’s Royal Festival Hall. David Tennant, star of Doctor Who, served as host.
Oppenheimer won seven awards, including best picture, best director (Christopher Nolan), best actor and supporting actor (Cillian Murphy and Robert Downey Jr.) and best original score (Ludwig Göransson).

Yorgos Lanthimos’ Poor Things won five awards, including best actress (Emma Stone). Jonathan Glazer’s The Zone of Interest collected three. Alexander Payne’s The Holdovers took two.

Two individuals were double winners on the night — Nolan (best director and best picture, as a producer) and Glazer for The Zone of Interest (best British film and best film not in the English language).

Most of the top BAFTA winners are expected to also win at the Oscars on March 10. Among them: Da’Vine Joy Randolph, who won best supporting actress for The Holdovers.One acting race remains too close to call at the Oscars. Despite his BAFTA loss, Paul Giamatti is still very much in the Oscar race for best actor for The Holdovers.

Göransson’s win for best original score marks his first BAFTA Award. The BAFTA winner for original score has gone on to win the Oscar in that category in nine of the least 10 years. If Göransson does take the Oscar, it will be his second win in that category. He won five years ago for Black Panther.

Killers of the Flower Moon was shut out, despite nine nominations. Other films with five or more nods that were blanked were Maestro (seven nods), All of Us Strangers (six) and Barbie and Saltburn (five each). (The BAFTAs don’t have a category for best original song, a category in which Barbie probably would have prevailed — just as it expected to at the Oscars.)

Sandra Hüller was nominated for both lead actress (Anatomy of a Fall) and supporting actress (The Zone of Interest), but lost both awards.

20 Days in Mariupol won best documentary, besting a pair of music docs — American Symphony, about Jon Batiste, and Wham!, about the 1980s chart-topping pop duo.

Sophie Ellis-Bextor performed “Murder on the Dancefloor,” her 2001 song which soundtracked a racy scene in Saltburn.
