One of the last major ceremonies of the awards season, the EE British Academy Film Awards, occurred last night, with the acclaimed THREE BILLBOARDS OUTSIDE EBBING, MISSOURI winning big. The movie starring Frances McDormand, Sam Rockwell, and Woody Harrelson won five awards, including Best Film, Best British Film, Best Original Screenplay (Martin McDonagh, who also directed) and trophies for McDormand and Rockwell. This comes as a big boost for the movie at the Oscars, which take place next Sunday, and where one of the craziest Best Picture races in memory will have a champion. There can only be two. Wait, that’s not right.
Anyway, other winners for the night include Guillermo del Toro‘s SHAPE OF WATER which won Best Director, Original Music and Production Design. Other winners include DUNKIRK, CALL ME BY YOUR NAME, BABY DRIVER and BLADE RUNNER 2049, with GET OUT’s Daniel Kaluuya taking home the Rising Star award, as voted by the public.
