The post “All Quiet on the Western Front” Leads the Way at the 2023 BAFTA Awards appeared first on TheDailyDay.
]]>The German anti-war drama entered the ceremony as one of the front-runners with a total of 14 nods. It tied the record, previously held by Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, to become the most-nominated non-English language film in BAFTA’s history, and it managed to walk away with half the awards it was in the running for.
In addition to winning the best film, All Quiet came out victorious in six more categories: best director, best adapted screenplay, best cinematography, best original score, best sound, and best film not in the English language.
It was also a big night for The Banshees of Inisherin, which was named the outstanding British film, beating the tough competition that included Aftersun, Living, and Empire of Light. It was one of two films to win four BAFTAs on Sunday, along with Elvis.
Royal Festival Hall in London served as the venue for the 76th British Academy Film Awards on February 19, while Richard E. Grant and Alison Hammond hosted the ceremony.

]]>Jane Campion’s western drama was competing against Belfast, Dune, Don’t Look Up, and Licorice Pizza for the night’s biggest award, and it managed to come out victorious. Campion also made history as the third woman to win the award for the best director.
When it comes to Dune, Denis Villeneuve’s sci-fi epic came into the night with 11 nominations and managed to win five crafts awards, including best cinematography, production design, special visual effects, sound, and original score.
Acting categories brought several predictable wins our way, starting with Will Smith collecting the award for best actor with King Richard. The real shocker came in the best actress category, with the underdog Joanna Scanlan beating tough competition to win a trophy for After Love.
The 75th British Academy Film Awards returned to the Royal Albert Hall in London on March 13th, and Rebel Wilson served as the host for the first time.

]]>Graham Norton hosted the event, which took place in London’s Royal Albert Hall, where the World War I epic from Universal and Amblin/DreamWorks took home seven awards: Best Director, Best Film, Outstanding British Film, Best Cinematography, Best Production Design, Best Sound, and Best Special Visual Effects.
1917 was nominated for nine BAFTAs, while Joker was nominated for 11. The Irishman and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood had 10 nominations each.
Joker won three awards: Best Leading Actor for Joaquin Phoenix, Best Original Score, and Best Casting. Other best lead and supporting actor winners were Renee Zellweger for Judy, Laura Dern for Marriage Story, and Brad Pitt for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.

]]>The post Graham Norton Announced as Host of the 2020 BAFTA Awards appeared first on TheDailyDay.
]]>Norton is a pretty amazing choice since he’s the host of the leading talk show in the UK. He’s also an obvious pick because he did an amazing job hosting the BAFTA Television awards earlier this year.
“I’m delighted to be taking the helm of the biggest night in British film. The audience at the Royal Albert Hall will be the biggest sofa I’ve ever faced. I’m honored to be following in the fabulous footsteps of Stephen Fry and Joanna Lumley,” said Graham Norton in an official statement.
Unlike the majority of the award ceremonies, BAFTAs have a tendency to stick to the same host for a prolonged period of time. This award show only had three different hosts since 2002 – Fry, Lumley and Jonathan Ross – but Norton is ready to shake things up.
We’re still waiting for the BAFTA nominations to be announced, and the wait will finally be over on January 7th, 2020. The ceremony is set to take place on February 2nd, 2020 at the Royal Albert Hall.

]]>The post Joanna Lumley Returns as BAFTA Host appeared first on TheDailyDay.
]]>So much so, that they have asked her to return as host of the British film awards.
“We’re thrilled that Joanna has agreed to return as our host for a second year, she was fantastic and we’re looking forward to the ceremony with her once again at the helm,” said BAFTA’s director of awards Emma Baehr.
The Absolutely Fabulous star is regarded as a national treasure, so it seemed only logical to select her as host when veteran MC, Stephen Fry, stepped down last year after holding the fort for 12 ceremonies.
The awards are regarded as the biggest night in the British film industry, and includes awards such as Best British Film and Rising Star.
The ceremony will once again be held at The Royal Albert Hall when it takes place on the 10th of February, with nominations set to be announced on the 9th of January.
How absolutely fabulous!

]]>Fry announced on Friday that he is stepping down as the host of the BAFTA Film Awards in 2018. He said that it was “only right to stand down and let others take the Baftas on to new heights and greater glories”.
“What fun it will be to watch BAFTA 2018 without my heart hammering, mouth drying and knees trembling.” Fry added.
The 60-year-old comedian had his first tenure as BAFTA Film Awards host from 2001 to 2006. Then from 2007 to 2011, Jonathan Ross stepped in, only to pass the torch to Fry once again. Fry was extremely successful in his role and beloved by the audience, something which definitely played a great part in him sticking around for so long.
“On behalf of everyone at BAFTA, I would like to sincerely thank Stephen Fry for making each and every one of the Film Awards that he’s presented such memorable and joyous occasions. We will miss him tremendously.” said BAFTA’s chief executive Amanda Berry.
The 2018 BAFTA ceremony will take place on February 18 at London’s Royal Albert Hall. Fry’s replacement, as well as the nominations, will be revealed on Tuesday, January 9th.
British media is already speculating with the list of people who could step in for Fry. Besides Jonathan Ross, who would be a safe choice, other candidates include Claudia Winkleman, Ricky Gervais, and Emma Thompson. The name of James Corden was also thrown into the mix, mostly because he would appeal to the U.S. audience, something that is very important for the BAFTA.
