‘1917’ Wins Best Film & Dominates The 2020 BAFTA Awards

The 92nd Academy Awards are just a week away, but the other film academy across the pond got a chance to have their say in the awards game as the 2020 BAFTA Awards were handed out in London. Universal Pictures’ “1917” dominated the proceedings winning Best Film and Best Director, Sam Mendes. The WW I thriller is a frontrunner to win both awards at the Oscars next Sunday.

“1917” also won Best Cinematography, Best Visual Effects, Best Sound, Best Production Design and Best British Film.

For those rooting for another film to win Oscar’s Best Picture, it should be noted the BAFTA winner for Best Film has not lined up with the Academy’s since “12 Years A Slave” in 2014.

Among other categories, all the acting prizes fell into line along with previous awards ceremonies. Laura Dern took Supporting Actress for “Marriage Story,” Brad Pitt won Supporting Actor for “Once Upon A Time In Hollywood,” Joaquin Phoenix won Best Actor for “Joker” and Rene Zellweger took Best Actress for “Judy.” Many of the other winners were also expected. “Little Women” took Costume Design while “Ford v. Ferrari” took Editing.

Following their wins at the WGA Awards last night, “Jojo Rabbit” and Taika Watiti won Best Adapted Screenplay while Bong Joon Ho and Han Jin Won took Original Screenplay for “Parasite.” The Palme d’Or winner also was honored with BAFTA’s Best Foreign Language Film award.

The biggest surprise of the night, if that, came from Netflix’s “Klaus” taking Animated Feature over Pixar’s “Toy Story 4.” It’s worth noting “I Lost My Body” wasn’t nominated and that every so often BAFTA has veered in different directions in this category from AMPAS, but it was still slightly unexpected.
