THE REVENANT WINS BIG AT 2016 BAFTA

Alejandro G. Iñárritu didn't quite hit home run last year when his Birdman was up for ten BAFTA nominations but only went home with one for Best Cinematography, given to Emmanuel Lubezki. This year at the 69th British Academy Film Awards, the ambitious director's The Revenant finally takes the throne, nabbing five prizes including main categories Best Film, Best Direction and Best Actor in a Leading Role for Leonardo DiCaprio. Lubezki bags the cinematography category again for the second year consecutively. Well, well deserved. All these four categories are my hope for The Revenant to triumph, hopefully at the Oscars as well.

George Miller’s Mad Max: Fury Road takes home four BAFTAs – all in technical/production fields – Best Costume Design, Best Production Design, Best Make Up & Hair and Best Editing. Tom McCarthy's Spotlight wins Best Original Screenplay while Adam McKay nabs Best Adapted Screenplay for The Big Short.

Brie Larson continues her sweep by winning Best Actress in a Leading Category (Room) while Kate Winslet bags the supporting role (Steve Jobs). Mark Rylance's performance in Bridge of Spies wins him Best Actor in a Supporting Role, and Star Wars' John Boyega receives the Rising Star Award. The Martian, The Danish Girl, Carol and Ex-Machina all leave empty-handed this year.
