Back in March, the British Academy nominated the highest number of female directors in BAFTA history. On Sunday, Chloé Zhao became the second woman to ever receive a Best Director BAFTA award for her movie Nomadland, which also took home Best Film, Best Cinematography, and Best Leading Actress for Frances McDormand. Meanwhile, the evening’s Outstanding British Film prize went to Emerald Fennell’s Promising Young Woman, which also nabbed Best Original Screenplay. This year’s Best Adapted Screenplay went to Christopher Hampton and Florian Zeller’s The Father, which also took home the evening’s Best Leading Actor prize for its star, Anthony Hopkins.
And in a repeat of the SAG Awards, Judas and the Black Messiah’s Daniel Kaluuya and Minari’s Youn Yuh-jung won this year’s Best Supporting Actor and Actress awards, respectively. In her acceptance speech, Youn thanked the “very snobbish†British voters for their approval. You can check out the full list of 2021 BAFTA Awards winners below, to see if they measure up to yours.
