And The BAFTA Winners Are…

Is there anything better than watching a bunch of rich people patting each other on the back? Award season is here, and last night it was the BAFTAs, the British Academy of Film and Television Awards.

The BAFTAs had some record-breaking nominations; PTA’s One Battle After Another had 16, with Coogler’s Sinners close behind with 13. Hamnet and Marty Supreme both had 11 nominations each.

Here is the finished list of the BAFTAs, including the winners, and losers. And yes, I copied and pasted this, we’ve all wasted enough time on this already.

As I said, winners and losers at the BAFTAs. Sinners had 13 nominations, but only won 3, and one of those three was Best Original Screenplay, which is hilarious! It also had Best Supporting Female, which was won by a British woman, obviously.

Seeing One Battle After Another win is like guaranteeing a new Star Trek or Star Wars TV series will be crappy. It was a safe bet it would win.

The only thing I agree with was Best Lead Actor, Robert Aramayo, I Swear. I saw this at random, and it was a brilliant movie, which I should have reviewed. Based on a true story, it was about a young Scotsman who developed Tourette’s. After I had seen it, I had to look up Aramayo to see if he was an actor or someone with Tourette’s. Since this was his first role, he was outstanding.

So, what do you make of the BAFTA winners?
