Congrats to the BAFTA winners and nominees, especially to all behind EARTH MAMA and 20 DAYS IN MARIUPOL, and Da’vine Joy Randolp – well deserved. Also, POOR THINGS love!

Special mentions (from me) to Molly Manning Walker for her brilliant debut nom and Sandra Hüller for her nomination as leading actress in Anatomy of a Fall.

Oppenheimer grabs seven awards, with Poor Things and The Zone of Interest also winning big.
