BAFTA on fire this 2018
The BAFTA awards were held on Sunday night when they met their winners at the Royal Albert Hall in London.
Starting with one of the most famous movies this season “The Shape of Water” that entered these awards with 12 nominations, the highest of any movie. But unexpectedly, Three Billaboards Outside Ebbing Missouri was the top winner with 5 prizes, including the best movie , best actress and best supporting actor. Guillermo del Toro, acclaimed director of The Shape of Water didn’t leave empty-handed. He went home with the award as best director.

28-year-old actor Daniel Kaluuya also appears in this count for his success in the movie “Get Out” who won the EE Rising Star award. For this prize, the public votes gets the winner. His fans made him invincible, since this list was close, among other actors like Timothee Chalamet, Florence Pugh, and Tessa Thompson. What an honor for this new star!
‘Evening, London city, hello … I’ve gone blank, thank you,’ so began the actor’s speech of appreciation, naming everyone what made this possible. Then, he “broke all the rules” by telling everyone that the regressive count had begun.
“Tessa, Tim, Josh and Florence, thanks to the people for voting for all of us,” he added. “I feel so privileged to be in your company guys. I am the product of funding the arts in the UK, and I would like to thank the people who financially support that,” he said before mentioning that he was “breaking all the rules” by telling the audience.
“There’s a countdown, they told me not to say that, I’m breaking all the rules!”
Among other winners we saw Gary Oldman in one of the favorite movies of the public “Darkest Hour”, no doubt that in the nominations we could see the talent for miles.
In the Adapted Screenplay award, James Ivory won the award. Thanks to his brilliant work adapting “Call Me By Your Name”. All those who have read the book and then have seen the film always emit positive comments, to capture the scenes and the essence of this book. No doubt the story of summer love that more than one would like to live.
