Film - BAFTA Awards
This past weekend saw the BAFTA Awards for this year presented over two virtual ceremonies. Here are all the winners...
The first of the two ceremonies was on Saturday evening, hosted by Clara Amfo alongside guests Rhianna Dhillon and Joanna Scanlan. Eight awards, mostly in the "craft" categories, were revealed as part of a programme that gave audiences an in-depth insight into the filmmaking process.
Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom won two awards, for Costume Design and Make Up & Hair, while it was one award each for Rocks (Casting), Sound of Metal (Sound), Mank (Production Design) and Tenet (Special Visual Effects.) The Present won the British Short Film award, while the BAFTA for British Short Animation was won by The Owl and the Pussycat. Saturday also saw the award for Outstanding British Contribution to Cinema, announced last month, presented to filmmaker Noel Clarke.
Here's what Noel had to say:
Sunday's Awards ceremony was hosted by Edith Bowman and Dermot O’Leary and held at London’s Royal Albert Hall, again with nominees attending virtually. The show included three featured musical performances: by Liam Payne, Celeste, and Leslie Odom Jr. (from Los Angeles) and Corinne Bailey Rae.
It was one award apiece for Minari (Supporting Actress was awarded to Yuh-Jung Youn,) Another Round (for Film Not in the English Language,) My Octopus Teacher (Documentary) and The Present (British Short Film award). Writer/director Remi Weekes received the award for Outstanding Debut by a British Writer, Director or Producer for His House.
The Fellowship, the highest honour the Academy can bestow, was also presented last night, introduced by Hugh Grant and given to director Ang Lee:
James McAvoy, winner of the first ever BAFTA Rising Star Award in 2006, presented this year’s EE Rising Star Award to Bukky Bakray, from Hackney, London. The EE Rising Star Award is the only publicly voted award presented at the EE British Academy Film Awards. Bakray is a multi-award-nominated actress who received critical acclaim for her debut lead performance in breakout hit Rocks, directed by Sarah Gavron, which received seven nominations for the 2021 EE British Academy Film Awards. Bukky’s passion for acting continues to grow having completed a year-long course as part of RADA Youth Company. She is currently enrolled on Theatre Peckham’s Originate Acting Course, where young performers receive specialist actor training with top-tier drama schools, Guildhall School and RADA, and industry professionals.
She said: “Thank you so much BAFTA and EE, I appreciate this so much. The Highlight of this awards journey has been recognition in a category with my fellow nominees, I can’t describe how humbling and what a blessing it is to be put on the same boat as those talented human beings. I’ve got a special appreciation for the Rocks family as well. Thank you for seeing something in me that I never saw in myself. Thank you EE for continuing to spotlight now and emerging talent”.
Our own Mystic Mug, Susan Omand, took a look at the list of nominations when they came out a couple of months ago and picked her winners - so how many did she get right? (see the ** DID WINs ** for the full list of winners)

So, counting only the "will win/did win" combos [rather than the "should wins" - should have had more courage of convictions! - Ed] Susan predicted [guessed - Ed] 13 out of 25. Just above random average then.
