78th British Academy Film Awards; A Night of Glamour and Triumph
The 78th British Academy Film Awards (BAFTAs) took place on 16 February 2025 at the Royal Festival Hall in London, celebrating the best in film over the past year. Hosted by David Tennant, the ceremony saw Conclave and The Brutalist emerge as the night’s biggest winners, each securing four awards. Conclave triumphed with Best Film, Outstanding British Film, and Best Adapted Screenplay, while The Brutalist earned Adrien Brody the Best Leading Actor award and Brady Corbet the Best Director prize.
Mikey Madison delivered a standout moment, winning Best Actress for her role in Anora, marking a career-defining achievement. Zoe Saldaña took home Best Supporting Actress for Emilia Pérez, and Kieran Culkin won Best Supporting Actor for A Real Pain, which also claimed Best Original Screenplay. The beloved Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl won Best Animated Film and Best Children’s and Family Film, delighting fans of the iconic claymation duo.
The ceremony was marked by a gothic fashion theme, with stars such as Timothée Chalamet, Cynthia Erivo, and Demi Moore turning heads on the red carpet. David Tennant’s hosting was noted for its energy, though some criticised the scripted material as overly reliant on dad jokes. The event also featured a poignant In Memoriam segment, accompanied by a piano performance by Jeff Goldblum.
The BAFTAs often serve as a precursor to the Oscars, and this year’s results could influence the upcoming Academy Awards. Notable snubs included Demi Moore and Ralph Fiennes, while Conclave’s strong showing may boost its Oscar prospects. The evening concluded with a lively afterparty, attended by stars such as Selena Gomez, Kate Winslet, and Pamela Anderson, capping off a night of glamour and celebration for the film industry.
