EE BAFTA Film Awards 2025

Sunday, 16 February 2025 Royal Festival Hall · South Bank

The British Academy gave Conclave four awards, Best Film among them, at the 2025 EE BAFTA Film Awards at the Royal Festival Hall.

The British Academy presented the 78th EE BAFTA Film Awards, voted by its members, at the Royal Festival Hall on the South Bank on Sunday 16 February 2025. David Tennant hosted for a second year.

The Academy began when its founders gathered in Michael Balcon’s suite at the Hyde Park Hotel on 16 April 1947, with David Lean in the chair. They set out to give British filmmaking a body of its own.

The BBC has broadcast the ceremony since 1956. The film ceremony moved to the Royal Festival Hall in 2023, after spells at the Royal Opera House and the Royal Albert Hall.

Conclave led the nominations with twelve and won four awards: Best Film, Outstanding British Film, Adapted Screenplay and Editing. The Brutalist also won four, including Director for Brady Corbet and Leading Actor for Adrien Brody.

Mikey Madison won Leading Actress for Anora, Kieran Culkin won Supporting Actor for A Real Pain and Zoe Saldaña won Supporting Actress for Emilia Pérez. These three and the Leading Actor each won a BAFTA Film Award for the first time.

Kneecap took Outstanding Debut, Warwick Davis received the BAFTA Fellowship and David Jonsson won the EE Rising Star Award.
