All Quiet on the Western Front takes home the biggest prize at this year’s BAFTA (British Academy of Film and Television Arts) Film Awards, held in London, winning Best Film and six other awards. Securing awards for Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay among many others, the German anti-war film set a new record at the ceremony, becoming the first non-English language film to secure 7 trophies.
1988’s Cinema Paradiso previously held that record with five BAFTAs.
Martin McDonagh’s latest Irish black comedy The Banshees of Inisherin came second with four awards, including best original screenplay and supporting performance nods for Barry Keoghan and Kerry Condon.
Cate Blanchett won the Best Leading Actress, for her commanding performance in Tár.
And Austin Butler, who portrayed the legendary singer Elvis Presley in Elvis, won a BAFTA for Best Leading Actor.
A critical darling and 2023’s awards season favourite Everything Everywhere All at Once only secured one award, Best Editing, despite being nominated in 10 categories, including Best Film.
James Cameron’s Avatar: The Way of Water rightfully won an award for its incredible visual effects, and Navalny won for best documentary, beating off competition from Indian film All That Breathes.
