2015 BAFTA Winners - See The Complete List Here

We’re still a full two weeks away from the Academy Awards, but tonight in London was the biggest in British cinema. The British Academy Film Awards, better known as the BAFTAs, were held this evening - and it will be fascinating to see how it winds up having an effect on the on-going race in Hollywood.

Recently it’s been Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu’s Birdman that has been sweeping up big awards, winning the Director’s Guild, Producers Guild and Screen Actors Guild prizes, but it was Boyhood that the BAFTAs deemed to be the Best Film of 2014. In addition to winning the big award of the night, the 12-years-in-the-making movie also won Best Director for Richard Linklater amd Best Supporting Actress for Patricia Arquette. The Theory of Everything - the Stephen Hawking biopic – was also a big winner. The drama took the Outstanding British Film title, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Eddie Redmayne beat out the likes of Michael Keaton and Benedict Cumberbatch for Best Actor.
