Last night we celebrated the 75th British Academy Film Awards and London’s Royal Albert Hall was inundated with some of the very best filmmakers that our industry has to offer.
Lucky for us, that red carpet was rolled out once more and this year’s event returned to a much more familiar format, leaving last year’s COVID-compliant celebrations a distant memory. As much as we all enjoyed last year's attendees appearing in hologram form, nothing quite beats the real thing, does it?
With Rebel Wilson as our evening’s compére, there were smiles all round as many of the nation’s favourite productions from the last year took to the stage to be honoured for their contribution to British cinema. We were delighted to see UVE-assisted productions Belfast and No Time to Die steal top spots, but let's take a look at some more of this year's recipients, shall we?
If you missed last night’s ceremony, allow us to recap all of this year’s prestigious BAFTA Award winners and their respective nominees...
