All Quiet on the Western Front took home the biggest prize at this year’s BAFTA (British Academy of Film and Television Arts) Film Awards, held early Monday, in London, winning Best Film and six other awards. Securing awards for Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay among others, the German anti-war film set a new record at the ceremony, becoming the first non-English language film to secure seven trophies. 1988’s Cinema Paradiso previously held that record with five BAFTAs. Martin McDonagh’s latest Irish black comedy The Banshees of Inisherin came second with four awards, including best original screenplay and supporting performance nods for Barry Keoghan and Kerry Condon.
Keeping with recent award trends, Cate Blanchett was crowned the Best Leading Actress, for her commanding performance in Tár. Meanwhile, Austin Butler, who portrayed the legendary singer Elvis Presley in Elvis, won a BAFTA for Best Leading Actor. A critical darling and 2023’s awards season favourite Everything Everywhere All at Once only secured one award — Best Editing, despite being nominated in 10 categories, including Best Film. James Cameron’s Avatar: The Way of Water rightfully earned an award for its incredible visual effects, while Navalny won for best documentary, beating off competition from Indian film All That Breathes.
Meanwhile, Guillermo Del Toro’s Pinocchio, the twisted, stop-motion fairy tale won Best Animated Film, leaving behind Joel Crawford’s swashbuckling-kitty film Puss in Boots: The Last Wish. The latter recently crossed $400 million (about Rs. 3,306 crore) at the worldwide box office. Aftersun writer-director Charlotte Wells emerged as the best debutant, while Damien Chazelle’s boisterous golden age Hollywood epic Babylon secured one in the Production Design category.
With that, here’s the entire list of winners at this year’s BAFTA Awards:
