BAFTA Awards 2024: Here Are All the Winners for This Year

We are in the middle of awards season, and the major films of the year have battled it out for the chance at a golden trophy at the 2024 BAFTA Awards. The winners have now been named, so read along to find out who came out victorious.

What are the BAFTA Awards?

Earlier in the year, we had the Golden Globes ceremony, and next month we have the glitz and glamour of the Oscars to look forward to. But on the other side of the pond, we also have the BAFTAs, where the British Film Academy crowns its top films and performances from 2023.

Similar to Australia’s AACTA awards, the BAFTAs are a celebration of primarily British films (or those who have starred in British-made films) and awards are voted on by members of the British Film Academy.

Who was predicted to win at the 2024 BAFTA Awards?

With regard to the BAFTA winners this year, nothing was set in stone until that envelope was read out on stage. However, we have consulted some experts online and pulled together their top picks.

According to the experts on Gold Derby, Oppenheimer was the top pick for Best Film this year at the BAFTAs. Similarly, they expeced Christopher Nolan to win for his direction of the film.

In the acting categories, it was a toss-up between Emma Stone for Poor Things and Sandra Huller for Anatomy of a Fall in the Lead Actress race, while Cillian Murphy (Oppenheimer) and Paul Giamatti (The Holdovers) were the favourites for Best Actor.

What were the biggest snubs and surprises from the BAFTAs 2024 nominations?

As always, not everyone who made a good film last year can be nominated for an award, which means there were inevitably some snubs at the BAFTAs.

Some of the major names include Greta Gerwig and Celine Song for Best Director and Barbie missing out completely for a Best Film nom. Also, an absolutely criminal move is the omission of Lily Gladstone from the BAFTA Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role category for her performance in Killers of the Flower Moon.

That being said, a nice surprise was the love for Saltburn, which saw Barry Keoghan, Rosamund Pike, and Aussie Jacob Elordi gain nominations.

When can you watch the 77th British Academy Film Awards?

The 2024 BAFTA Awards took place on February 19, at 7:00 am AEDT in Australia due to the British time zone. You can stream the awards on BINGE.
