The BAFTAs 2024 glittered under the London sky, unfurling a night of cinematic brilliance that had everyone’s eyes glued to the star-studded event.
‘Oppenheimer’ continues awards sweep
With the Royal Festival Hall playing host, the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTAs) dished out its prestigious awards, recognising the creme de la creme of the film industry.
Christopher Nolan‘s Oppenheimer stole the show, bagging the Best Film award, with Nolan himself winning Best Director.
This atomic blast of talent didn’t stop there, as the film continued to sweep through the categories, making a profound statement on the awards night.
The acting categories brimmed with talent, with Cillian Murphy earning Best Actor for his portrayal of J. Robert Oppenheimer in Oppenheimer.
Emma Stone was awarded Best Actress for her role as Bella Baxter in Poor Things. The supporting roles saw Robert Downey Jr. and Da’Vine Joy Randolph winning for their performances in Oppenheimer and The Holdovers respectively, showcasing the depth of talent across the board.
Anatomy of a Fall took home the award for Best Original Screenplay, a testament to the power of compelling storytelling.
Best Adapted Screenplay was nabbed by Oppenheimer, adding another feather to Nolan’s cap for the evening.
In the realm of animated wonders, The Boy and the Heron by Hayao Miyazaki and Toshio Suzuki was crowned Best Animated Film, reminding us of the magic that animation brings to the silver screen.
The Best Documentary accolade was bestowed upon 20 Days in Mariupol, highlighting the importance of documentary filmmaking in shedding light on global issues.
As the evening celebrated the diversity and creativity of global cinema, The Zone of Interest won Best Film Not in the English Language, showcasing the BAFTAs’ recognition of international storytelling prowess.
The technical categories were no less competitive, with Oppenheimer dominating once again in Best Cinematography, Best Editing, Best Original Score, and several others, underlining the film’s technical mastery and artistic achievement.
