The 78th British Academy Film Awards celebrated notable films, with Conclave winning four awards, including best picture and outstanding British film. The Brutalist also shined, achieving equal success with four awards, highlighting a competitive year in film. Mikey Madison won best actress for Anora, while Kieran Culkin and Zoe Saldana took home supporting actor and actress awards, respectively. Emilia Perez faced backlash but secured the best film not in the English language award. Despite controversy surrounding a lead actress, the director expressed pride in the film's achievements, signaling an unpredictable Oscars season ahead.
Conclave, which stars Ralph Fiennes as a cardinal corralling conniving clergy as they elect a new pope, beat Anora, The Brutalist, Emilia Perez and Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown to the top prize.
The film's director, Jacques Audiard, has condemned those comments, but in an acceptance speech thanked Gascon along with her co-stars Saldana and Selena Gomez.
Stars including Cynthia Erivo, Hugh Grant, Ariana Grande, Lupita Nyong'o, Timothee Chalamet and Saoirse Ronan walked the red carpet at London's Royal Festival Hall for the awards, known as BAFTAs.
at a ceremony where no film dominated, The Brutalist equaled the awards tally of Conclave, scooping four trophies, including best director for Brady Corbet and best actor for Adrien Brody.
