2025 BAFTA Film Awards Celebrate Diversity with 'Conclave' and 'The Brutalist' Leading the Pack

2025-03-02

The 2025 BAFTA Film Awards, held at London’s Royal Festival Hall and hosted by David Tennant, celebrated a diverse array of films and performances, with Edward Berger’s Conclave and Brady Corbet’s The Brutalist emerging as the night’s biggest winners. Conclave, a papal thriller starring Ralph Fiennes, took home four awards, including Best Film and Outstanding British Film, marking the first time a film has won both categories in the same year. The film also won Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Editing. Meanwhile, The Brutalist, an immigration epic, secured four awards, including Best Director for Corbet and Best Actor for Adrien Brody, who portrayed a Holocaust survivor and architect.

In a surprising turn, Mikey Madison won Best Actress for her role in Anora, beating out favorite Demi Moore (The Substance). Madison, known for her work in Better Things and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, delivered an emotional acceptance speech, dedicating her win to the sex worker community. Zoe Saldaña won Best Supporting Actress for Emilia Pérez, while Kieran Culkin took home Best Supporting Actor for A Real Pain. Jesse Eisenberg, the writer and director of A Real Pain, also won Best Original Screenplay.

Other notable wins included Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl for Best Animated Film and Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story for Best Documentary. Warwick Davis was honored with the BAFTA Fellowship, the academy’s highest accolade, for his contributions to film and television.

The ceremony, marked by its efficiency and lighthearted tone, saw no single film dominate, reflecting a competitive awards season. With the Oscars approaching, the BAFTAs have set the stage for an unpredictable race, particularly in the acting categories.
