Movies In Focus At The 2018 BAFTA Film Awards And The Full Winners List
On 18 February 2018, the cream of the film industry once again descended on the Royal Albert Hall for the 2018 EE British Academy Film Awards (that’s the Baftas to you and me). Movies In Focus was on the red carpet to cover the event – and as an added bonus I was also inside the auditorium as the gongs were given out.
The #TimesUp movement was a major presence at the event, with most of those attending wearing black to support the fight against the sexual harassment of women in the film industry. It was a strong message and there did appear to be a heignted amount of female talent in attendance, with the likes of Angelina Jolie, Annette Bening, Frances McDormand, Jennifer Lawrence, Margot Robbie, Gemma Arterton Allison Janney and Saoirse Ronan gracing the red carpet. That’s not to say the men were left out in the cold as Daniel Day-Lewis, Jamie Bell, Daniel Kaluuya, Willem Dafoe, Sam Rockwell, Dennis Quaid and even Daniel Craig all made an appearance at the ceremony.
Movies In Focus’ red carpet highlights include chatting with Loving Vincent directors Dorota Kobiela and Hugh Welshman, Guardians of the Galaxy star Karen Gillan, The Shape of Water producer J.Miles Dale and Blade Runner 2049 composer Benjamin Wallfisch. See a selection of my 2018 Bafta photographs.
The Royal Albert Hall is a tremendous venue, with the stage surrounded in a horseshoe shape by the nominees and the attendees. Joanna Lumley made a valiant attempt to replace long-time presenter Stephen Fry, but she seemed little overwhelmed by the live audience. But the Baftas isn’t about the presenter – the show’s the thing…
Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri was named Best Film and Outstanding British Film. Martin McDonagh scored Original Screenplay, Sam Rockwell took home Supporting Actor and Frances McDormand won the award for Leading Actress.
Gary Oldman won Leading Actor for Darkest Hour, Supporting Actress was awarded to I, Tonya‘s Allison Janney, the EE Rising Star Award went to Daniel Kaluuya and the BAFTA Fellowship went to a very nervous Ridley Scott.
