The Winners Of The 2019 BAFTA Awards Have Been Announced

Sunday night's BAFTA Film Awards arrived in the usual flurry of excitement and anticipation. Some of the world's biggest stars gathered on the streets of London in the typically freezing cold, took a stroll down the red carpet and ambled into the Royal Albert Hall to find out who would be taking home one of those shiny gold masks.

Joanna Lumley returned to host the ceremony for the second year in a row, taking an obligatory jab at the fact that the Oscars doesn't have anyone at all. "Thank goodness BAFTA actually has a host," she told the audience.

Having spent the last month mulling over the ups and downs of the BAFTA nominations list (Bohemian Rhapsody and First Man were nominated for a surprisingly high number of awards while Widows only got the one mention, with a nod to Viola Davis in the Leading Actress category), it's safe to say we're relieved to finally have our winners. Now that they're here, I think many of us could've predicted how this was all going to pan out.

Familiar with the excitement around The Favourite? It cleaned up over in America last month, winning Golden Globes and Critics Choice awards for lead actress Olivia Colman, and so it's no surprise at all to learn that the wild royal romp has won the BAFTA for Outstanding British Film or that Colman took home yet another Leading Actress trophy. Rachel Weisz beat Claire Foy, Amy Adams, Margot Robbie and co-star Emma Stone to win the award for Best Supporting Actress, and The Favourite also took home the awards for Best Hair & Make Up and Production Design. The film is looking very well placed for the Oscars at the end of the month.

The only public voted category is the EE Rising Star Award. This year it was taken home by Black Panther star Letitia Wright, whose co-star Daniel Kaluuya won the same accolade at last year's BAFTAs. Outrageously, we already knew that a woman wouldn't win the award for Best Director as not a single woman was nominated in the category. The award went to Alfonso Cuarón, who directed breakout foreign language masterpiece, Roma, which incidentally picked up a few awards this year. And I'm afraid if you were rooting for A Star Is Born, you might be a little disappointed by the film's modest performance here. Read on to see the full list of winners.
