UPDATE: Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer was the big winner at the BAFTA Film Awards this evening, taking a leading seven for his epic biographical thriller. Among those were key categories Best Film, Director, Actor (Cillian Murphy), Supporting Actor (Robert Downey Jr.), Editing (Jennifer Lame), Cinematography (Hoyte van Hoytema) and Original Score (Ludwig Goransson).

The Universal blockbuster was on a fast-track from the outset, taking the first categories in which it was eligible (though Adapted Screenplay early on went to Cord Jefferson for American Fiction in that film’s only win of the night), and then Sound went to The Zone of Interest which took a total of three, also nabbing Outstanding British Film and Film Not in the English Language.

Searchlight’s Poor Things had a rich showing with five BAFTAs including Leading Actress for Emma Stone as well as Costume, Make Up & Hair, Production Design and Special Visual Effects.

From Focus, The Holdovers won two categories: Supporting Actress for Da’Vine Joy Randolph and Casting.

Entirely shut out were Killers of the Flower Moon which had nine nominations coming into this evening, Bradley Cooper’s Netflix entry Maestro which had seven, and the biggest box office movie of 2023, Warner Bros and Greta Gerwig’s Barbie.

Check out the full list of winners below, and check back for Pete Hammond’s analysis.

PREVIOUS: The British Academy of Film and Television Arts has rolled out the red carpet for its annual BAFTA Film Awards here at London’s Royal Festival Hall. The ceremony is about to kick off on what began as a dreary day, but has since given way to blue skies. David Tennant is hosting the proceedings this year, and we’ll be updating the winners live below, so be sure to keep checking back.

Heading into the event, Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer from Universal leads all nominations with 13 including Outstanding Film, Director, Adapted Screenplay, Actor and Supporting Actor and Actress. Oppenheimer is looking like the one to beat in most areas, though there are potential challengers ahead.

With the second largest haul of nominations, Yorgos Lanthimos’ Venice Golden Lion winner Poor Things from Searchlight is vying for a total 11 including Outstanding Film and Outstanding British Film, Adapted Screenplay and Lead Actress for Emma Stone. Lanthimos was surprisingly left out of the Directing field.

Chasing the leading two is Martin Scorsese’s Killers Of The Flower Moon, with nine nominations. The Apple Original Films epic pops up in Outstanding Film, Supporting Actor for Robert DeNiro, and cinematography for Rodrigo Prieto. However, the film didn’t land noms in either the directing or Lead Actress races. Jonathan Glazer’s breakout Cannes drama The Zone of Interest also has nine nominations, giving the British filmmaker his best-ever BAFTAs showing.

Other leading films include Cannes Palme d’Or laureate Anatomy of a Fall, Alexander Payne’s The Holdovers from Focus and Bradley Cooper’s Netflix entry Maestro. Each of those has seven noms. Andrew Haigh’s Searchlight fantasy drama All of Us Strangers landed six nods, and Greta Gerwig’s Barbie (though, sadly not Greta Gerwig for directing) and Emerald Fennell’s Saltburn have five apiece.

The BAFTAs are yet another Oscar precursor that may give us a clearer indication of what’s to come at the Dolby on March 10.

The ceremony is airing on a two-hour delay in the UK and U.S., so check back for winners as we update live below.
