BAFTA Awards 2023: The full winners list

The 2023 EE British Academy Film Awards kicked off at London’s Royal Festival Hall on Sunday night, with favourites including The Banshees of Inisherin and All Quiet On The Western Front battling it out for the top prize.

The ceremony was hosted by actor Richard E Grant and presenter Alison Hammond, following a star-studded red carpet featuring guests Florence Pugh, Lily James and Jodie Turner-Smith.

Ahead of the big winners for acting and Best Film, the two frontrunners were All Quiet On The Western Front and The Banshees of Inisherin, who were neck and neck in their subsequent wins.

As the ceremony got underway, Carey Mulligan was incorrectly announced as the winner of the Supporting Actress award after a translation gaffe while deaf actor Troy Kotsur was presenting.

Amazing! Kerry Condon was awarded Best Supporting Actress for The Banshees of Inisherin, after an unaired gaffe which saw the wrong winner of the award announced

Oops! Oscar-winner Kotsur was delivering the announcement by sign language before a miscommunication resulted in Mulligan’s name being called for her performance in She Said

 Elated: Taking to the stage, Condon paid tribute to director Martin McDonagh, adding: ‘Thank you for all the parts you gave me throughout my career. You make me so proud to be an Irish woman’

Oscar-winner Kotsur was delivering the announcement by sign language before a miscommunication resulted in Mulligan’s name being called for her performance in She Said.

The announcer quickly corrected the call and announced The Banshees Of Inisherin star Kerry Condon as the winner.

Taking to the stage, Condon paid tribute to director Martin McDonagh, adding: ‘Thank you for all the parts you gave me throughout my career. You make me so proud to be an Irish woman,’ before thanking the ‘amazing cast’ and her family as well as her horses and dogs.

Even host Richard E Grant joked later that he had a defibrillator for Mulligan.

The mistake did feature in the final broadcast on BBC One, which aired slightly behind the ceremony.

Helen Mirren also remembered the Queen as the ‘nation’s leading star’ as she lead a special tribute to the late monarch.

The veteran actress has portrayed the monarch on stage and screen, winning an Oscar and Bafta for her depiction in 2006’s biographical drama The Queen.

The late Queen had a close association with the Academy spanning 50 years which saw her donate to and support initiatives, as well as attend many events. 

Sensational! After kicking off the ceremony with an incredible performance, Ariana DeBose returned to the stage with Regé Jean-Page to present Best Supporting Actor

Amazing! Barry Keoghan won Supporting Actor for The Banshees Of Inisherin, and the Irish actor said he ‘should have planned this, really’ before thanking his co-stars and Ireland.

Show it off! Backstage, Barry proudly posed with his gong in hand after winning his first ever BAFTA

Iconic: Helen Mirren also remembered the Queen as the ‘nation’s leading star’ as she lead a special tribute to the late monarch

Tribute: The actress referenced the more than 50 cultural organisations the monarch supported during her lifetime and the honorary BAFTA award she received in 2013 in recognition for her ‘outstanding patronage of the film and television industries’

Taking to the stage, Dame Helen said: ‘BAFTA’s relationship with Her Majesty was longstanding and Bafta would not be what it is today without her loyal support.

‘In 1953, her coronation broadcast had the world watching. From that time, she was unquestionably the nation’s leading lady but as mysterious as a silent film star.

‘Who else could meet the world’s most famous singers, actors and performers and turn them into her supporting cast.

‘Throughout her 70-year reign, she met cinema’s greatest icons and witnessed the evolution of Hollywood’s golden age to the birth of the blockbuster. Her Majesty was front row for it all.’

The actress also referenced the more than 50 cultural organisations the late monarch supported during her lifetime and the honorary BAFTA award she received in 2013 in recognition for her ‘outstanding patronage of the film and television industries’.

Helen continued: ‘Cinema at its best, does what Her Majesty did effortlessly – bring us together and unite us in a story. Your Majesty, you are our nation’s leading star. On behalf of Bafta, thank you for all that you have done for our film and television industry.’

Speaking to Alison after the tribute, Helen said: ‘It was tough, I didn’t want to cry. I cried a bit when I rehearsed it and I thought, “Good, I got that over and done with”, because I wouldn’t want to. But I did feel very strongly about the Queen, I’m Elizabethan. She was there for my whole life so her passing was massive.’ 

Barry Keoghan won Supporting Actor for The Banshees Of Inisherin, and the 30-year-old Irish actor said he ‘should have planned this, really’ before thanking his co-stars and Ireland.

Iconic duo: Jamie Lee Curtis and Anya Taylor-Joy presented the Outstanding Debut by a British Writer, Director or Producer to Charlotte Wells for Aftersun

Moving: Tearfully, she thanked the producers, cast and crew and mentioned the earthquake that hit Syria and Turkey, where the movie was filmed

Stellar: The first award of the night, Best Adapted Screenplay, was presented by Viola Davis and went to All Quiet On The Western Front, with director and screenwriter Edward Berger paying tribute to those fighting in Ukraine

Stellar! Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio won the BAFTA for Animated Film, and he thanked Netflix, the stars and the people who believed in a musical version of the classic children’s tale

Lauded: Director Guillermo del Toro (second right) took to the stage to accept the award, saying: ‘I think animation is not a genre for kids, It’s a medium for art; it’s a medium for film’

Reflecting on what it means to receive the award for a film which is so close to home, Keoghan said in the winner’s room: ‘It encourages the arts at home and we are an island of storytelling and great actors and poets and writers. 

The first award of the night, Best Adapted Screenplay, was presented by Viola Davis and went to All Quiet On The Western Front, with director and screenwriter Edward Berger paying tribute to those fighting in Ukraine.

Screenwriter Ian Stokell said the project had been ‘worth the wait’ because the film is anti-war.

‘And this helps the industry massively at home and encourages people to send the scripts in and go for what they want to do.’

He added that he plans to celebrate his win with his son by ordering room service after the ceremony and that he was going to keep the award under a picture of his mother.

The award for Best Cinematography went to All Quiet On The Western Front, with lead cinematographer James Friend thanking his wife, daughter and fellow nominees.

He added: ‘I wasn’t expecting that and I haven’t written a speech. This is one of the greatest honours, I’m a bit speechless.’

Jamie Lee Curtis and Anya Taylor-Joy presented the Outstanding Debut by a British Writer, Director or Producer to Charlotte Wells for Aftersun.

Tearfully, she thanked the producers, cast and crew and mentioned the earthquake that hit Syria and Turkey, where the movie was filmed.

Wells also said her film was a ‘eulogy’ to her father and added ‘he’s not here, but my mum is’.

Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio won the BAFTA for Animated Film, and he thanked Netflix, the stars and the people who believed in a musical version of the classic children’s tale.

Del Toro added: ‘I think animation is not a genre for kids, It’s a medium for art; it’s a medium for film.’

Stellar: Martin McDonagh won Original Screenplay for The Banshees Of Inisherin, giving the dark comedy film its third win, and he thanked BBAFTA, his fellow nominees, production company and the stars

We won! The award for Special Visual Effects was given to Avatar: The Way Of Water, and was accepted by Richard Baneham, Daniel Barrett, Joe Letteri and Eric Saindon

Martin McDonagh won Original Screenplay for The Banshees Of Inisherin, giving the dark comedy film its third win, and he thanked BAFTA, his fellow nominees, production company and the stars.

McDonagh also said: ‘Making a sad film, shouldn’t be so much fun.’

As the awards opened, Richard arrived clad in a matching white cape, a cheeky nod to his arrival at the venue in the Batmobile, and was greeted with a huge cheer from the guests.

During his opening monologue, Richard referenced Will Smith’s infamous slap at last year’s Oscars, telling audiences that ‘on my watch no one gets slapped tonight’.

Smith stormed onto the stage during the 94th annual Academy Awards in March and slapped presenter Chris Rock after the comedian made a joke about his wife Jada Pinkett Smith.

Amusing! During his opening monologue, Richard referenced Will Smith’s infamous slap at last year’s Oscars, telling audiences that ‘on my watch no one gets slapped tonight’ as he concluded his humorous remarks at the top of the show
