Watch Leonardo DiCaprio Kiss Maggie Smith During the BAFTA Awards
This year’s 69th British Academy Film Awards ceremony will be held at London’s Royal Opera House and will see Stephen Fry take the helm as 25 awards are dished out.
As fans know, Kate Winslet has been very vocal about her intention of attending the Oscars with the intention of watching Leonardo DiCaprio win, aside from being nominated herself. And this woman drove me three hours a day to a different school to show me a different opportunity.
Katte Winslet won the best-supporting actress for her portrayal as a loyal assistant in a biopic of late Steve Jobs.
“The Revenant” dominated the full victor list of the 69th British Academy of Film and Television Arts Awards. So to have worked in this industry ever since I was 13 years old, having done 20-something movies and to be here now, and have it be for a film like this that we worked so very hard on, it feels wonderful. He already had won the Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild Award for the role and is the favorite to win at the Oscars, where “The Revenant” will be vying in 12 categories.
The obituary section included tributes to Alan Rickman, Maureen O’Hara, Omar Sharif, David Bowie, Ron Moody, Frank Finlay, Indo-British actor Saeed Jaffrey and Christopher Lee. For example, they were the only group to anticipate Alan Arkin’s best supporting actor Oscar win for Little Miss Sunshine (2006) and Tilda Swinton’s best supporting actress Oscar win for Michael Clayton (2007).
“I agree”, Winslet said.
Lesbian romance drama “Carol” went home empty-handed after leading BAFTA nominations with Bridge of Spies with nine nods each. Thank you for casting for me when you really didn’t have to. Additionally, Inside Out won best animated film, Amy won best documentary, Star Wars won best visual effects and The Hateful Eight’s Ennio Morricone won best original score.
“Mad Max: Fury Road” was another film that won heavily on the night, winning four awards – for makeup and hair, editing, costume and production design – but none of the high-profile awards.
The Revenant’s Mexican director, Alejandro González Iñárritu, said the problem ran “deeper” than simply the Oscars. Inarritu, who swept the Oscars last year with “The Birdman” and a favourite this year as well, said the film’s success at the Bafta awards was overwhelming.
The head of the British film academy said she supported the protesters’ aims.
