"La La Land" Emerges Victorious At BAFTAs
La La Land continues its dominance even though it won only 5 BAFTAs: Best Film, Direction, Actress, Cinematography, and Score. We know now that after winning the Globe, PGA, and now this, La La Land has Best Picture in the bag. The question now is how many Oscars it will win and not whether it will win.
Other major takeaways include Lion and Manchester By The Sea holding strong with 2 awards a piece. Lion shockngly won Adapted Screenplay and managed a Supporting Actor win for Dev Patel, making him a formidable challenger to frontrunner and SAG Winner Mahershala Ali. Last year's Supporting Actor winner, Mark Rylance, won the BAFTA before winning the Oscar so a similar pattern could be formed. Also, Moonlight walked away empty handed and I think any hope it would upset La La Land has been dashed. It might not go home empty handed at the Oscars but it's unlikely to win Best Picture. Other takeaways include Kubo And The Two Strings winning Animated Feature over Zootopia, Hacksaw Ridge winning Film Editing over ACE winners La La Land and Arrival, and Arrival managing to win Best Sound. If La La Land doesn't sweep the Oscars, winning nearly everything, the tech winners here in the BAFTAs could easily translate to wins at the Oscar ceremony.
