Surprise! Conclave won the best movie
Everyone is expecting Edward Berger’s classy thriller to win the remaining British film; In a slightly medium year for that prize, this is the clear frontrunner. But it tapped a few for the Best Picture Award. The brutalist seems to have excessive chewy critical worship; A complete unknown is beloved, especially among the boomer demographic that still forms a large portion of the BAFTA bottles; Anora (see below) is the dark horse that appears in the limelight. But conclave? Isn’t it pretty … middlebrow? It’s a bit too … fun? And isn’t the mic-drop that ends slightly polarizing?
It seems not. What could be pushed by the end line except for home advantage? Could the late whiff of controversy benefit it, with the Vatican Bigwigs – and the US evangelists – suggesting that this is Satan’s work? In a year the movies need some hot headaches to be successful (see brutalist) but not too much (see Emilia Pérez) who can be smattering it. Does it have a real shot at Oscar? Perhaps one had to look at the BAFTA two years ago, when Berger’s previous movie, all was quiet on the Western Front, won seven awards (photo, director, foreign language, cinematography, adapted screenplay, points and sound ). In Oscar, which drops to – a respectable – still – four (international, cinematography, production design and marks).
Snub! Ralph Fiennes has lost the best actor
If the conclave could win the best picture and outstanding British film – what’s wrong with the guy in almost every scene? Ralph Fiennes’ Cardinal Lawrence is the Conclave’s beat heart, the moral center and the one whose troubled puffing also provided almost every soundtrack. However it is also a light performance with heavy emotions and a great hurt speech. May have costs with his gong? . And the only winner of Bafta, a supportive nod for Schindler’s list, and marked his sixth defeat.
Surprise! Mikey Madison won the best actress
She may not have managed to secure the Rising Star Award, voted by the public, but Mikey Madison has scored a huge coup by getting the actress’ best prize. Demi Moore’s narrative for the substance is assumed to be powerful enough to mislead even BaFTA voters-and those who are not slow can expect to go for Marianne Jean-Baptiste, cruelly not to notice even the stage of Oscar nominations but intensely brilliant in poor Mike Leigh facts. To celebrate any of those actors have a lot of meaning, but 8,000-different voters instead go for a 25-year-old who performs a sex worker-a brow raiser, given that even After their massive overhaul of voters, BAFTA membership is still the skews that are quite old and conservative.
But Sean Baker’s Palme D’Or won a huge momentum over the past week or more, with the best picture that won both directors and honors of guild manufacturers in the US – both of them are many Active Voters of the Academy Award. Anecdotal reports suggest that while many people in the industry are deeply impressed by the brutalist, many of them really love Anora. Can be pushed to the side on 2 March? Expect a blurry of fresh bets.
Surprise! Christopher Reeve The successes in the human landless
In the last two years, the BAFTAs have established an unable to track record when it comes to celebrating great documentaries engaged in chewy issues torn from headlines. Last year they chose the devastating film of Ukrainian War 20 days in Mariupol; Last year it was a study by the late Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny. This year there is no other land present: a critical worship of the West Bank’s destruction of a collective Palestinian-Israeli. And Bafta went for a common movie about the children of Christopher Reeve. Responding to itself, of course, and not a movie that has no great prevention and anxiety, but a slight opportunity of direction that is not less.
Surprise! Emilia Pérez actually won some awards
Jacques Audiard’s Stitched-Together Mob Musical Drama had awards from hell, whose team didn’t want to forget but had a fuzzy memory of surgical removal from their skulls. Right when all hope seems to be completely gone, salvation comes in the form of surprising Bafta voter voters.
Emilia Pérez may have only won two awards from 11 nominations, but many expect less: its win for the best movie not in English, leading a strong field including the overly admirable That kneecap and Oscar Best Picture nominee that I still felt really unlikely.
And Zoe Saldaña’s success for supporting the actress suggests that she may not be noticed by the general poisoning around her film. But will Oscar voters be very generous?
Snub! The BBC has trimmed the hottest speech
A BBC-Averse-Averse-Genese Tried to turn off any issues by collapse of potentially tricky quotes-even if it were all relative, as nothing could not tear the roof. David Tennant got some fair jabs to Donald Trump, along with a line about calling him by saying his name three times – but editing was just one of his survivors: “The Talking to the villains … “And the BBC also removed a meaningful news story: Emilia Pérez director Jacques Audiard” Kiss “to her errant star Karla Sofía Gascón, who if the world knew That has exploded most of the opportunities of the film’s award after discovering previous previous activity on social media. Censorship may be a bit shocking, but it certainly adds to the impression that everything BBC wants is a bland, no drama of two hours of Sunday night TV.
I -Highlight! Three doses by Jesse Eisenberg
So far as BAFTA acts as an advert for a movie as long as an audition for the Oscars, a real illness should definitely see a bit of a revolt – thanks to the three brilliant displays of Jesse Eisenberg. He manages to be funny and sincerely to all of them – as well as wide faster than most people in the podium. At first (winning original screenplay) he called himself a loser and fanboys his wife. In the second (choosing Kieran Culkin’s prize) he was sweet about someone and cut off about the industry at the same time. And in the third-the presentation of the animated film-he and the co-star will be removed to find a category that is the right riff to joke with that is, remarkable, both funny and plugged in their movie. For fans of those performances, a real disease will not fail.
Snub! A complete unknown goes home without a hand
In a field that for most of the awards season is lacking a real frontrunner, some wonder if a complete unknown can make a coda, and overcome by thinner raids. That theory has a major air blown in Baftas, which none of the six nominations resulted in the awards win. If those who like the best movie always look a stretch, there is a real hope about the best chances of Chalata’s actor, especially given the minor controversy around using AI in his rival that time of rival Adrien Brody’s brutalist performance. But obviously that is not enough to dismiss Bafta voters from coronating brody. Instead all of a complete unknown star received is a number of tired jokes from host David Tennant about Timothée Chammet lookalike tournaments.
Surprise! Wallace & Gromit Beats within 2
Of all the contenders this year, one is likely to be seen by most people watching the ceremony on BBC One is also the BBC one a month and a half ago: Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl . It has been the same best animation (a competitive field, along with Pixar’s box office behemoth within 2, along with critical favorite flows and the wild robot) and the inaugural family movie prize is not less than a big win not only for Aardman but also Beeb, and Netflix, with whom it shares the rights and buncasting rights. The speeches of Nick Park’s acceptance, despite what has been done for nearly 40 years now, adds an appeal to the on-brand.
