The winners of the 2021 BAFTA Award winners have been announced, withNomadlanddominating the event by taking home four gongs.
Chloe Zhao’s drama landed the Best film, Best actress, Best director, and Best cinematography award at this year’s ceremony, which was held virtually for the first time due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Other big winners during last night’s event included Promising Young Woman,Sound of Metaland Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, with each movie walking away with two awards apiece.
One of the biggest surprises of the night was reserved for Lionsgate drama The Father. The movie also secured two gongs, including Best adapted screenplay. Sir Anthony Hopkins' triumph in the Best actor category, however, was slightly unexpected, with the 85-year-old legendary star tipped to miss out on the award to the likes of Riz Ahmed or the late Chadwick Boseman.
The other shock saw Thomas Vinterberg’s Another Round pip the hotly-tipped Minari for Best film not the in English language category. Minari only secured one award on the night - Best supporting actress for Youn Yuh-Jung - but it remains to be seen if this is an indication of how Lee Isaac Chung’s flick will do at the Oscars later this month.
