The awards choices of industry voters and cinephiles from across the pond will be revealed at the 76thAwards, which will take place this Sunday, Feb. 19 at London’s Southbank Centre. A major bellwether to the Oscars, the BAFTAs have proven to be a strong indicator of what the Academy could choose as their favorite films and performances of the year.
The real test will come in the best director category, where Steven Spielberg is not nominated for “The Fabelmans.” Many are expecting Spielberg toon Saturday evening. A prize to anyone but the Daniels would be a blemish to their campaign, given their main directing competition is not present. This could lead the Oscars to a best picture-director split, which is becoming more common in recent years.
THE BANSHEES OF INISHERIN, director Martin McDonagh, on set, 2022. ph: Jonathan Hession / © Searchlight Pictures / courtesy Everett Collection“Banshees” shouldn’t have too bad of an evening; it’s expected to win leading actor forand outstanding British film. Martin McDonagh’s black comedy is also viable in supporting actress, original screenplay and original score.
Interestingly, “Speech” is the only film ever to win British film and go on to win the Oscar for best picture. Past British selections — “Gosford Park” , “Gravity” ‘, “The Favourite” , “Promising Young Woman” and “Belfast” — were all presumed top-three contenders during their respective years. So is this bad news for “Banshees”?
