Britain’s biggest night in film returned to London's Royal Festival Hall last night, with Oppenheimer and Poor Things among those to have won the evening's most coveted awards.
This year’s ceremony, which was hosted by David Tennant, once again saw the who’s-who of the film world hosted in the capital — although perhaps minus the Princess of Wales, who was still recovering from surgery but has served as the patron of BAFTA since 2010.
Dominating the 2024 BAFTA wins was Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer, which also dominated the list of nominations with 13 nods, while Yorgos Lanthimos’s darkly-comic spectacle Poor Things also won big, as well as being nominated 11 times.
As for the awards’ snubs: Celine Song’s acclaimed film Past Lives received just three nods and zero wins — despite its critically-acclaimed lead performances from Greta Lee and Teo Yoo — while Emerald Fennell’s psycho thriller Saltburn and Barbie were each nominated five times, and won in none of their categories, despite the cultural fanfare both have generated since their releases.
