Oppenheimer takes top Baftas – but Poor Things and Zone of Interest also triumph


Christopher Nolan’s film wins best picture, director, leading and supporting actor, while Emma Stone named best actress – and The Zone of Interest surprises to take three

Barbie, Oppenheimer’s running mate – and rival – in last summer’s extraordinary box office phenomenon, left the night empty-handed, as did Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon, Celine Song’s Past Lives and Bradley Cooper’s Maestro. There was some disappointment for The Holdovers, Alexander Payne’s 1970s-set comedy, which missed out on leading actor for Paul Giamatti, but did take the casting award for Susan Shopmaker, and supporting actress for Da’Vine Joy Randolph, who made a rousing and emotional acceptance speech. Randolph has won every award in the category this season, and her victory in London, beating homegrown stars such as Rosamund Pike (for Saltburn) and Emily Blunt (for Oppenheimer) cements her position as the surest Oscar bet in recent memory.
