LONDON, UK (Top40 Charts) "Oppenheimer" was a big winner at the 2024 BAFTA Film Awards, which were presented Sunday at the Royal Festival Hall in London, England.
The
Christopher Nolan-directed award season favorite led the nominees with 13 nods this year and won seven awards, including director, lead actor and the coveted best film award.
Winning his first-ever BAFTA, Nolan expressed his thanks to studio Universal, "for letting us take on something dark, and seeing the potential for that" during his acceptance speech.
"Poor Things" was the other stand-out winner of the ceremony with five wins, including Emma Stone's award for lead actress.
"The Holdovers" star Da'Vine Joy Randolph continues to dominate the supporting actress category through this award season cycle. Thanking her co-star Paul Giamatti while accepting her BAFTA, Randolph said, "Gosh, I cry every time I say your name. You represent everything that is great and good in our craft."
The BAFTAs are yet another Oscar precursor that may give us a clearer indication of what's to come at the Dolby on March 10.
