Celebrating its 76th birthday this year, the BAFTAs recognise and honour creative achievement in movies, video games, and television through its prestigious BAFTA Awards.
This past Sunday, the 2023 BAFTA Awards took place at the Royal Festival Hall in London. The evening was packed with stars, actors and the best film makers of the past year.
Among them, we can mention, Austin Butler, Kerry Condon, Emma Mackey for example, who were all rewarded with a small golden statuette, for their excellent work.
Ariana DeBose, a BAFTA winner herself, performed to start the ceremony, while Joan Armatrading joined Little Simz on stage for a special surprise performance on the night.
It strives to motivate the upcoming generation of talented individuals, irrespective of their backgrounds or identities. Through a year-round learning and development programme of events and programmes, including mentoring and bursaries, it also finds and supports talent with a focus on removing barriers to opportunity.
For Edward Berger, Austin Butler, Kerry Condon, and Barry Keoghan, this was their first BAFTA award, while Cate Blanchett received her fourth BAFTA.
With the exception of costume design, which was accepted by director Baz Luhrmann on behalf of Catherine Martin, all winners were present and accepted their prizes live on stage.
