The 2023 EE BAFTAs took place in London last night and the big winner was ‘All Quiet on the Western Front’, which picked up 7 wins including ‘Best film’.
‘All Quiet on the Western Front’ picking up seven awards was unexpected and it marks the most wins for a film not in the English language in the history of BAFTA.
The runners-up for the night were ‘The Banshees of Inisherin’ and ‘Elvis’, both of which collected four awards over the course of the evening. Austin Butler won ‘Leading actor’ for his portrayal of Elvis Presley in Baz Luhrmann’s ‘Elvis’ biopic, giving more fuel to speculation that he’s going to pick up an Oscar for his performance.
Other notable winners include Cate Blanchett who picked up ‘Leading actress’ for ‘Tár’ and Kerry Condon and Barry Keoghan who won ‘Supporting actress’ and ‘Supporting actor’ respectively for their performances in ‘The Banshees of Inisherin’.
The ceremony was hosted by Richard E. Grant and Alison Hammond.
