BAFTA Awards 2022 Winners were announced

BAFTA Awards 2022 Winners were announced BAFTA BAFTA Awards 2022 Winners The British Film Academy Awards, abbreviated as the BAFTA Award, is an annual award given to the best film and television in the UK. The first BAFTA Awards ceremony was held in 1949 in the cinema category and the winners received a bronze sculpture in the form of a mask, this bronze mask on a marble base. In 1954, the BAFTA Award in the television category was added to the BAFTA Awards. The annual BAFTA Awards Ceremony was held in April and May, but from 2002 onwards the time was changed to February due to the pre-Academy Awards. The 2022 BAFTA Film Awards spread the wealth, with Oscar front-runner The Power of the Dog hanging on to win the big two prizes of the night—best picture and director (Jane Campion)—and exactly nothing else, as Dune cleaned up below the line and rival best-picture contenders CODA and Licorice Pizza surged with major screenplay wins. BAFTA offers a key glimpse of late-breaking momentum in awards season, as the ceremony follows the SAG Awards and has a membership that overlaps considerably with the Oscar voting body. (Last year it forecast lead-acting wins for Anthony Hopkins and Frances McDormand, both of whom had lost at SAG and Critics Choice.) This time around, the acting races went mostly as expected, with Will Smith, Troy Kotsur, and Ariana DeBose continuing their clear march toward Academy Award glory. Fittingly, though, the chaotic best-actress field, which featured zero crossover with the Oscars’ lineup (an exceedingly rare occurrence), went even more out-there than expected: Voters didn’t yield to a star who likely just missed with the Oscars, like Alana Haim or Lady Gaga, instead bestowing British acting treasure Joanna Scanlan with a rousing upset victory for After Love, the intimate grief drama released in the U.K. back in the summer. Paul Thomas Anderson scored his first major industry win for Licorice Pizza’s screenplay as he inches closer to his first-ever Oscar. Meanwhile, the adapted-screenplay race had been considered competitive, with Power a kind of default category leader, but also vulnerable given its dominance in other areas like directing. CODA, propelled by palpable on-the-ground momentum in the past few weeks on the awards trail, was in retrospect an obvious spoiler here, but its win still feels major. The campaign behind the little-indie-that-could has set its sights on a best-picture stunner, and these are the pickups it needs for fuel. And if you’re really counting tea leaves, an editing win for No Time to Die keeps King Richard’s top-category hopes alive too: The biopic is looking good for the editing Oscar after winning with the ACE guild last week, and Smith even held off Benedict Cumberbatch here at BAFTA to maintain his uncontested run in lead actor. Despite misses for Cumberbatch, Campion’s screenplay, and Ari Wegner’s cinematography, this was a good-enough day on a very good weekend for The Power of the Dog. Campion appears unstoppable in the directing race, if that wasn’t already clear, and while CODA is likely the closest thing we’ve got to a challenger, no film has proven it can beat the Netflix Western where it counts. (Relatedly: This is likely the end of the road for Kenneth Branagh’s Belfast, which had to settle for best British film on home turf.) After all, CODA wasn’t even nominated for BAFTA’s best-film award—and in the last 25 years, only one film has managed to win the best-picture Oscar without making that BAFTA top five (Unforgiven). In other words, the British Academy didn’t quite shake things up like last year. But these voters have offered enough intrigue to keep some juicy possibilities alive.
