The 64th Annual BAFTA’s – Winners Announced

The 64th Annual BAFTA’s were this past Sunday and anyone not living in the UK (or those who don’t have an insane cable with a full BBC lineup) missed out on the action. Well it was no surprise that The King’s Speech was one of the night’s big winners. Hmm, a British film winning a majority of British awards…did not see that coming:P

Some of the highlights were as follows:

The King’s Speech was named Best Film at tonight’s Orange British Academy Film Awards, held at London’s Royal Opera House. The film also won six other awards:Outstanding British Film, Original Screenplay and Original Music, as well as a trio of performance awards for Geoffrey Rush, Helena Bonham Carter and Colin Firth, who wins the Leading Actor BAFTA for the second year running.

Natalie Portman was awarded the BAFTA for Leading Actress for her performance as Nina Sayers in Black Swan.

David Fincher won the Director award for The Social Network and Aaron Sorkin took home the BAFTA for Adapted Screenplay. The film also won the Editing award.

Inception won the Production Design, Sound and Special Visual Effects BAFTAs.

Director Chris Morris received the award for Outstanding Debut by a British Writer, Director or Producer for his first feature film Four Lions.

Alice in Wonderland won the BAFTAs for Costume Design and Make Up & Hair. Toy Story 3 took home the award for Animated Film. True Grit won for Cinematography. The Film Not in the English Language BAFTA went to The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.

The Eagleman Stag won the Short Animation award and the Short Film award was presented to Until the River Runs Red.

The Orange Wednesdays Rising Star Award was presented to Tom Hardy, star of Inception and Bronson. This award, the only one voted for by the public, recognises an international actor or actress who has demonstrated exceptional talent and has begun to be recognised as a film star in the making. The award is now in its sixth year and was created in honour of Mary Selway, the highly respected casting director who passed away in 2004.

GEMMA ARTERTON
ANDREW GARFIELD
TOM HARDY

EMMA STONE

The only one I’m not too happy with was True Grit winning for BEST CINEMATOGRAPHY. That was really the weakest of the 5 nominees. But that’s what I think. What do you have to say about the winners?
