Taking home seven awards, 1917 emerged as the biggest winner at the EE British Academy Film Awards (BAFTA). Graham Norton hosted the ceremony at the Royal Albert Hall in London today.
Along with the best picture honor, 1917 garnered a directing win for Sam Mendes and cinematography award for Roger Deakins, among others.
Parasite continues its successful awards season ride with two BAFTAs, one for best original screenplay and the other for Film Not in the English Language.
“I don’t think anybody wants a handout or preferential treatment—although that’s what we give ourselves every year.”
Brits honored Renée Zellweger in the leading actress category for her work in Judy.
Leading actor winner Joaquin Phoenix delivered the ceremony’s most memorable moment with his acceptance speech, asking individuals within the industry—including himself—to take more direct action in dismantling systematic racism:
“I feel very honored and privileged to be here tonight.”
“The BAFTASs have already been very supportive of my career and I’m deeply appreciative. But I have to say, I also feel conflicted because so many of my fellow actors that are deserving don’t have that same privilege.”
“I think that we send a very clear message to people of color that you’re not welcome here.”
“I think that’s the message that we’re sending to people that have contributed so much to our medium and our industry and in ways that we benefit from.”
“I don’t think anybody wants a handout or preferential treatment—although that’s what we give ourselves every year.”
“I think that people just want to be acknowledged and appreciated and respected for their work.
“This is not a self-righteous condemnation because I’m ashamed to say that I’m part of the problem.”
“I have not done everything in my power to ensure that the sets I work on are inclusive, but I think that it’s more than just having sets that are multicultural.”
“I think that we have to really do the hard work to truly understand systemic racism.”
“I think that it is the obligation of the people that have created and perpetuate and benefit from a system of oppression to be the ones that dismantle it, so that’s on us. Thank you.”
