Well, what a bizarre night that was. The largest shock winner in current reminiscence, and one of many worst monologues. The bits that went lengthy went so lengthy that many of the ceremony got here within the type of a montage. And I’m fairly certain {that a} man with Tourette syndrome shouted a swearword at Paddington Bear. God, I want they’d aired all of this unedited.
WINNER! One Battle After Another, finest movie
Stuart Heritage
Weird that the Best British Film class was a stronger one than this, nevertheless it’s onerous to argue with the winner. The finest movie gained finest movie, and Sara Murphy accepts it with one other tribute to Adam Somner, who appears completely beloved by his total staff. Anderson speaks, and tells everybody who says that movies aren’t good to ‘piss off’. He begs to go to a bar. And that’s the tip.
Stuart Heritage
The remaining award is for finest movie, and Glenn Close is right here handy it out. And that’s jogged my memory how good she was in Knives Out, and that’s made me really feel unhealthy about saying that it was forgettable. ANYWAY.
WINNER! Jessie Buckley, finest main actress
Stuart Heritage
For Hamnet. Not the electrifying shock of the very best actor end result, however a extremely popular winner nonetheless. She describes her first time in London, throughout which she wore “nuclear” pretend tan. It’s happening a bit, although, not going to lie.
Stuart Heritage
Cillian Murphy is right here to current finest actress. And the gang are nonetheless so jazzed by the Aramayo information that they even whoop with pleasure on the announcement of a Peaky Blinders movie. Just 12 minutes to go and the Baftas have lastly caught fireplace.
Stuart Heritage
What an excellent second. He couldn’t consider it, to the purpose of absolute speechlessness. He fought again tears throughout his speech. And what makes this even higher is how sincerely happy for him the opposite nominees are. DiCaprio particularly appeared thrilled for him. It’s a late turnaround for a categorically terrible ceremony, however that is the largest and finest second of the evening. Wow!
WINNER! Robert Aramayo wins finest actor
Stuart Heritage
For I Swear. And it is a hell of a curveball. Obviously, this one gained’t affect the Oscars a jot, however what an excellent end result. Aramayo needed to embody a hell of rather a lot to play this function, and this award couldn’t be extra deserved.
Stuart Heritage
Now for finest actor, introduced by Kerry Washington, from that Knives Out sequel you already forgot got here out.
If you’re struggling to maintain observe of who’s gained what, discover all of the biggest news from the night neatly packaged right here.

After Langley, one other montage of awards that may’t match into the common broadcast. At this level it’s most likely simpler to only Google the winners, to be sincere. Zootropolis 2 gained one thing although.
Stuart Heritage
Standing ovation from tons of people that need to nonetheless be employed by NBC Universal sooner or later. Langley makes use of her speech to replicate on her profession, and in addition to level out that we is likely to be coming into a brand new golden age of cinema as a result of the world is so screwed up in the intervening time.
Stuart Heritage
Oh, it was the primary one. Dame Donna Langley will get the fellowship. Testimonials from Spielberg, Nolan, Craymer, Fellner and Bevan, Cruise and Emma Thompson (recording hers into her cellphone in a rush). Accompanied by clips of principally each large, good movie of the final 20 years, Spielberg calls her his “safety blanket”. This is excessive reward certainly.
Stuart Heritage
Here comes Prince William to both a) current this yr’s fellowship award or b) inform Paul Thomas Anderson that his movies are a bit too bizarre for him.
Stuart Heritage
This has been such a lopsided ceremony, and the printed edit so ungainly, that there’s now a montage of all of the awards that they didn’t have time to point out in full. The tl;dr is that Frankenstein gained rather a lot, and in addition a brief movie known as This is Endometriosis. Also Clare Binns from Picturehouse gained excellent contribution. Reports of her speech have stated that she requested the viewers to make their movies shorter sooner or later, however this bit was edited out.
WINNER! Paul Thomas Anderson, finest director
Stuart Heritage
For One Battle After Another. Lots of frankly fairly impolite closeups of the opposite nominees smiling by means of gritted tooth, however Anderson is gracious. He thanks Leonardo DiCaprio, after which provides a really tender tribute to his assistant director Adam Somner, who died shortly after manufacturing wrapped.
WINNER! Robert Aramayo, rising star award
Stuart Heritage
Aramayo is the lead of I Swear, the movie about John Davidson, which is why somebody heckled Paddington Bear tonight. He’s superb about contextualising Davidson, saying that folks with Tourette syndrome are sometimes outlined by the response of others. After he leaves the stage, Cumming acknowledges Davidson’s tics for the primary time, and apologises for any offence brought about.
We’re nonetheless ready for leads to lots of the essential classes, however Jess Cartner-Morley reckons that the largest drama of the evening has already taken place – within the red carpet fashion battle.
