“Dune” may have been the big winner at the 2022 BAFTAs with five wins in the craft categories, but it was Jane Campion’s “The Power of the Dog” that took home the coveted best film and director awards. The most celebrated event in the British film industry calendar returned for its first live edition since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, and with it came a renewed energy. While the ceremony at London’s Royal Albert Hall had a number of no-shows among nominees — likely due to a chock-a-block awards season schedule that saw the Critics Choice Awards land on the same day — co-stars stepped up to accept awards on the winners’ behalf, as was the case for Campion, whose best director award was picked up by her “Power of the Dog” lead Benedict Cumberbatch. Cumberbatch had only just lost out on best actor to “King Richard’s” Will Smith. Fumbling with some notes at the podium, he jokingly made to read his thwarted acceptance speech before saying, “You don’t lose to Will Smith, you win to be in his company.” It was difficult at times to remember that between the last BAFTA awards at Royal Albert Hall in February 2020 and this one, a global pandemic had completely overhauled the industry and virtually every aspect of life as we knew it. Looking at the packed audience in attendance — where virtually no one was masked but where everyone had shown negative COVID results from within 24 hours — it was a pleasant reminder of ‘before’ times. British musical legend Shirley Bassey launched the festivities with a rousing rendition of the title song from James Bond film “Diamonds Are Forever,” for which she received a standing ovation. Meanwhile, host Rebel Wilson — whose predecessors include Graham Norton, Joanna Lumley and Stephen Fry — was at her irreverent best and spared no one, especially Britain’s royal family (none of whom were in attendance). She also made one of the few political gestures of the ceremony, giving the middle finger to Russian President Vladimir Putin. Indeed, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine was referenced only a meagre handful of times during the evening. However, in one of the awards’ more pointed political statements, Andy Serkis, prior to announcing the best director BAFTA for Campion, made reference to U.K. Home Secretary Priti Patel’s slowness in welcoming Ukrainian refugees to Britain. Earlier, the evening opened with BAFTA chair Krishnendu Majumdar paying homage to the people of Ukraine and to the filmmakers covering the war, some of whom are BAFTA members. The red carpet was perhaps the most outspoken part of the evening, with Cumberbatch and “Boiling Point” star Stephen Graham both commenting on the war in Europe, while a group of climate change protestors disguised as fans jumped the barrier and staged a sit-down protest on the red carpet. “Just look up! Just stop oil!” the trio shouted from within a makeshift barrier formed around them as confused celebrities hurried past. Asked what they were protesting, one protestor told Variety that they were calling for an end to more fossil fuel investments by the U.K. government. Another suggested that they’d taken inspiration from Adam McKay’s Netflix movie “Don’t Look Up,” which was nominated for four BAFTAs. Netflix confirmed that the protest — which included smoke bombs going off at the entrance of the red carpet — had nothing to do with the streamer. Other big winners of the evening included “After Love” actor Joanna Scanlan, who exclaimed “Come on!” upon accepting her best actress prize. Meanwhile, “CODA” star Troy Kotsur became the first deaf actor to win a BAFTA. “I’d just like to say congratulations to James Bond, 007, for the 60th anniversary. But have you maybe considered a deaf James Bond?” Kotsur joked through his interpreter. 2022 BAFTA Film Award nominees: Best Film “Belfast” Outstanding British Film “After Love” Outstanding Debut by a British Writer, Director or Producer “After Love” – Aleem Khan (Writer/Director) Film Not in the English Language WINNER:
