2021 BAFTA Winners
I never get to watch the BAFTAs, but I've always got something to say about them. Here's a list of the winners + my thoughts.
Best Film
“The Father”
The Mauritanian”
“Nomadland”
“Promising Young Woman”
“The Trial Of The Chicago 7”
Even with Trial's SAG win, I don't think Nomadland will be stopped on its way to Best Picture.
Leading Actress
Bukky Bakray, “Rocks”
Radha Blank, “The Forty-Year-Old Version”
Vanessa Kirby, “Pieces Of A Woman”
Frances McDormand, “Nomadland”
Wunmi Mosaku, “His House”
Alfre Woodard, Clemency”
I like Frances McDormand but I didn't think she was outstanding in Nomadland. It was just a typical solid performance from her. Radha Blank is my favorite in this category but I was hoping for Kirby to win just because I can't believe she's only won two things for Pieces of a Woman.
Leading Actor
Riz Ahmed, “Sound Of Metal”
Chadwick Boseman, “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom”
Adarsh Gourav, “The White Tiger”
Anthony Hopkins, “The Father”
Mads Mikkelsen, “Another Round”
Tahar Rahim, “The Mauritanian”
I'm not too surprised by this because the BAFTA's didn't appear to love Ma Rainey, but Chadwick is still winning that Oscar. Hopkins was great in The Father, so good for him to have something to show for it.
Supporting Actress
Niamh Algar, “Calm With Horses”
Kosar Ali, “Rocks”
Maria Bakalova, “Borat Subsequent Moviefilm”
Dominique Fishback, “Judas And The Black Messiah”

This makes Yuh-jung the frontrunner!

Daniel Kaluuya, “Judas And The Black Messiah”
Barry Keoghan, “Calm With Horses”

The Present get a nice boost going into the Oscars where it's nominated for Live Action Short. I was so worried watching this.
I did see Atticus Ross' accepting the award via zoom and he was joined by his daughter. Aw... that is a cute moment as there haven't been a lot of pictures from the children of the NIN camp.
ReplyDeleteI didn't watch SNL but I loved that Weird Little Flute skit with Timothee Chalamet making a cameo.
Seriously, have him on that show to become a member of the 5-timers club.
The weird little flute and the lesbian period drama ones were my favorites. The latter was basically Ammonite.
