Baftas 2022: Seven highlights - from the jokes to the dresses

Mar 14,2022 5:06 am

Dune might have won The Most prizes, but The Power of The Dog proved too powerful When it came to The Night 's top categories at Sunday's Bafta Film Awards.

The Benedict Cumberbatch -starring western took home best film and best director for Jane Campion , standing it in good stead ahead of The Oscars at The End of this month.

Elsewhere, Rebel Wilson made an assured hosting debut while the likes of Will Smith , Troy Kotsur and Ariana Debose cemented their status as Oscar frontrunners.

Here are seven highlights from this year's ceremony, which marked a return to a full-capacity in-person event at The Royal Albert Hall .

1. Rebel Wilson made an impressive debut

The Baftas are a more serious and formal affair than a lot of other awards shows, and it can be pretty difficult to get a laugh from The Audience .

As a result, a couple of host Rebel Wilson 's jokes fell a little flat, but we thought on the whole the Australian comic actress did a fine job, delivering some solid one-liners in her opening monologue.

2. Ariana Debose was not ready for The British weather

" Next Time I think I'll consult the Weather Report , and perhaps wear a little less fabric? " The Best supporting actress winner told press backstage following a slightly rainy Red Carpet .

But unknown to many, her stunning Oscar de la Renta dress actually doubled up as a Political Statement - When put together with that of her West Side Story co-star.

" Did anybody see what Rachel Zegler 's wearing? Because the two of us together are standing with Ukraine, like seriously, We Are reflecting it In Colour , " She Said .

It wasn't the only reference to Russia's invasion of Ukraine at The Ceremony . the 13-year-old star of C'Mon C'Mon, and Boiling Point star both wore ribbons on their suits in the colours of Ukrainian flag. Benedict Cumberbatch , meanwhile, wore a blue and yellow badge.

" It's horrific what we're seeing daily, " " We all have to continue to put pressure on the Putin regime, continue to help in any way we can, whether that's through donations or housing refugees, all of which I'm looking to do and have done. "

3. There's No Question about Questlove's love for bagels

The musician's film Summer of Soul picked up best documentary, but we were mostly just impressed he was awake enough for the Baftas given His gruelling schedule.

Questlove went from the DGA Awards in Los Angeles on Saturday Night to the Baftas in London on Sunday afternoon. Oh, and he also has to be back in LA for His regular job on Monday Night - His group The Roots are The House band on a US Chat Show .

" I'm going to go straight to The Airport [after the Baftas] and tomorrow I have to be at work at The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon , " he explained, but added there was one Last Place he wanted to visit before leaving London.

" Actually, When she was With Us , Amy Winehouse introduced me to a spot called Beigel Bake, it's a 24-hour bakery. When we first started our friendship, that's how she would always end my London trips, so I always go there and honour her. "

If you happened to be in Brick Lane late on Sunday Night , that really was Questlove you saw buying a rainbow bagel.

4. Troy Kotsur knows How To make The Most of stage props

The Coda star has become an Awards Season favourite and stands a strong chance of winning The Oscar for best Supporting Actor following His Bafta victory.

" I feel like it's a big pay-off for the many years of an extremely tough journey, " the deaf actor said backstage through an interpreter. " It was hellish at times, I feel like a survivor.

" At times I slept in the back of my car, I couch surfed, and on The Set of A Streetcar Named Desire, I slept on The Bed on set because it was just so hard for me to survive Back Then as a starving actor. "

Kotsur is now getting The Most recognition of His career thanks to Coda, which was directed and adapted by Sian Heder .

" It took a long time for Hollywood to accept actors who happen to be deaf. With Coda, it was really The Right team, right director, right script, " He Said .

5. Joanna Scanlan scored a surprise win

The After Love star snared The Best actress Bafta despite The Film not being a major player at other awards ceremonies this Season .

Scanlan is perhaps best known for her role in the excellent TV political satire The Thick Of It, so could her first Bafta for A Movie role mean that she's more likely to concentrate On Film projects in future?

" Well film and TV are changing, aren't they? So I guess I'll be changing with it, " She Said

" Some of those boundaries are collapsing, and The Way we tell stories is changing because of the platforms that we're receiving those stories through. So I'm just going to go with that flow, ride that wave. "

6. The James Bond editors are slightly cross with The Oscars

You may have heard that The Oscars have controversially decided this year to in an effort to save time during the telecast.

At the Baftas, best editing winners Elliot Graham and Tom Cross from No Time To Die were asked what they thought of The Academy 's decision, which has been unpopular within The Film industry.

" I'm glad you asked that. Speaking for myself, I'm not a fan, " said Cross. " I think it taints the entire proceeding - it's not what The Academy of Motion Picture, Arts and Sciences is about.

" I feel lucky to have attended before, and I just think every Academy Awards statue is Gold - it's not silver, it's not bronze. All of those nominees deserve to stand up. "

His co-winner Elliot Graham agreed: " I grew up wanting to be an Academy member, it's that dream come true, and I think it's [messed] up, they need to think about it. "

7. Parasite has opened doors for foreign-language films

After Drive My Car was named best film not in the English Language , director Ryusuke Hamaguchi opened His acceptance speech by joking: " Well that got rid of my Jet Lag , Thank You ! "

Explaining more during The Press conference backstage, He Said : " I only arrived in This Country yesterday, so it's about 5am Japan time right now. "

Following in the footsteps of major recent awards players like Roma, Parasite and Minari, Hamaguchi acknowledged how attitudes towards films with subtitles have changed.

" The Thing that makes us feel that is The Change and acceptance of these films in the UK and the US, " He Said . " The Influence of Parasite two years ago on this has been huge, and the Next Generation of Asian films is here ready to go. "

With just a fortnight to go, all eyes will now turn to the Academy Awards on 27 March, which will mark the culmination of Awards Season .
