The winners of the 2025 EE BAFTA Film Awards were announced last night, hosted by David Tennant, and Conclave and The Brutalist were the big success stories.

Edward Berger’s papal election thriller won four films, including Best Film and Outstanding British Film, plus Editing and Adapted Screenplay. It faced fierce competition, however, from The Brutalist, which also won four awards, including Brady Corbet for Director and Adrien Brody for Leading Actor.

Anora emerged as the victorious underdog of the awards season, with Sean Baker’s comedy winning both the Casting prize and Leading Actress for Mikey Madison. Netflix’s Emilia Pérez won Supporting Actress for Zoe Saldaña and MUBI’s The Substance won Make-Up & Hair. Kieran Culkin took home Supporting Actor for A Real Pain, while Outstanding Debut went to the uproarious Kneecap.

Warwick Davis received the BAFTA Fellowship award and MediCinema was honoured for its Outstanding British Contribution to Cinema. The EE Rising Star Award went to David Jonsson.

Here’s the full list of the 2025 BAFTA winners, plus where you can watch each of them online – in case you’re playing awards season catch-up ahead of the Oscars next month.
