Big winner at BAFTA Awards
“The Favorite” by Yorgos Lanthimos, dominated the BAFTA film awards, picking up seven awards out of 12 nominations, including best actress and outstanding British film.
Lanthimos’ “The Favourite” snapped up the outstanding British film and screenplay awards as well as prizes for its opulent production design, its extravagant costumes, larger-than-life hair and makeup, plus the best actress award for OIivia Colman and supporting actress award for Rachel Weisz.
“It’s a great honor, it took 20 years for this film, I contributed the last 10,” said George Lanthimos.”We made a very British film, the case is very British,” commented Giorgos Lanthimos, speaking to Reuters. “It’s great because my colleagues are also recognized, and that’s why I’m very proud,” he added.
Alfonso Cuaron’s “Roma,” which centers on the nanny to a middle-class Mexico City family, took prizes for best picture, director, cinematography and foreign-language film.
