The 71st edition of the BAFTAs, selected by the British Academy have made award season history: it's the first time that four actors, nominated in four different categories (best actor and actress, and best supporting actor and actress), have each also won at the Critics' Choice, the Golden Globe, the Screen Actors' Guild and the BAFTAs. Such a feat makes for a perfect Oscar award ceremony.
The winners have been Gary Oldman for 'Darkest Hour, Frances McDormand and Sam Rockwell for 'Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri' and Allison Janney for 'I, Tonya'. The actors are on the edge of setting a new record at the upcoming Oscars on 4th March.
Fantastic Roles
The BAFTAs didn't really come as much of a surprise, given how things played out at previous award ceremonies this season. But that said, we can't undermine the impressive performances we've seen in cinema recently.
Gary Oldman captivated us in his role as Prime Minister, Winston Churchill. Frances McDormand played grieving mother Mildred Haynes against Sam Rockwell's police officer, and lastly, Allison Janney's performance as LaVona Golden, Tonya Harding's mother, blew us away.
Overall, 'Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri' was the big BAFTA winner, taking away the titles for best film and best British film. We'll have to wait and see what the Oscars have in store.
