Baftas 2024 full winners list: Oppenheimer and Poor Things win big while Barbie snubbed
A glittering array of stars will light up the red carpet at the biggest night in UK cinema
Oppenheimer was the big winner at the 2024 Baftas last night by taking home seven awards from thirteen nominations including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor for Cillian Murphy, and Best Supporting Actor for Robert Downey Jr.
Poor Things also picked up five awards, taking home Best Actress for Emma Stone alongside awards for Costume, Make Up & Hair, Production Design and Special Visual Effects. Jonathan Glazer's Zone of Interest won three awards, including Best British Film and Best Film Not in an English Language.
The Holdovers took home two awards, with Da'Vine Joy Randolph being awarded the prize for Best Supporting Actress, and the film's casting director Susan Shopmaker also winning. Other big wins of the night included Anatomy of a Fall and American Fiction, which won best original screenplay and best adapted screenplay, respectively.
Barbie and Saltburn, the two movies to generate the most column inches over the last few months, were snubbed entirely winning zero awards between them.
Back to the Future icon Michael J Fox took to the stage to hand out the award for Best Film, a moment that was heralded by film fans across the globe.
The ceremony also featured a live musical performance by Ted Lasso star Hannah Waddingham during the in memorium segment of the evening, and Sophie Ellis-Bextor sang her hit Murder On The Dancefloor, which experienced a surge in popularity after it featured in the closing moments of Saltburn.
The EE Bafta film awards was hosted by Doctor Who star David Tennant, who proved he had a knack for hosting with both charm and wit. This was especially felt in his entrance into the ceremony, where he brought in the dog Bark Ruffalo which friend Michael Sheen had asked him to take care of.
