So that's that for this year's BAFTAs. Last chance for your reactions to this year's ceremony. Be sure to listen to tomorrow's BAFTAS SCHMAFTAS reaction pod (free MONTH-LONG trial wherever you get your podcasts) Your thoughts PLEASE ๐Ÿ‘‡

Zoe Saldaรฑa wins Best Supporting Actress for Emilia Pรฉrez, a film which has divided audiences and critics alike. What's your take?

Kieran Culkin wins Best Supporting Actor. He isn't there, so once again we're treated to some top class Eisenberging.

Of the non-televised awards one that @kermodemovie.bsky.social will definitely have an opinion on is ORIGINAL SCORE, won by Daniel Blumberg for THE BRUTALIST. Nominees included Robin Carolan for Nosferatu and Kris Bowers for The Wild Robot. Your views on this award PURLEASE

BEST ADAPTED SCREENPLAY goes to CONCLAVE in a strong field that included Nickel Boys and Sing Sing. Reactions pls ๐Ÿ‘‡

Will there be a funnier award presenter than Stephen Merchant? He's in front in my book so far.

Jesse Eisenberg Eisenberging magnificently on stage to accept his deserved BAFTA for Original Screenplay for A REAL PAIN. A worthy winner?

Rich Peppiatt wins Outstanding Debut by a British Writer, Director or Producer for KNEECAP.

CHILDREN'S & FAMILY FILM at the Baftas goes to WALLACE & GROMIT: VENGEANCE MOST FOWL! Congrats to guests MERLIN CROSSINGHAM AND NICK PARK! A deserved winner in a strong field? Other nominees were Kensuke's Kingdom, Flow & The Wild Robot... Let us know what you think... Who should have come 2nd?

SPECIAL VISUAL EFFECTS won by DUNE: PART II. Was Better Man robbed? Gladiator II the REAL winner with their space monkeys? Let us know your reaction.

He's appeared as a supporting actor in some of the highest grossing films of all time but we've never had him on the podcast. Your kind words about WARWICK DAVIS please, who this evening receives his BAFTA FELLOWSHIP.

The first important question. Who looked best on the red carpet? IMHO it was Gwendoline Christie.

Good evening, hope youโ€™re having a pleasant Sunday. The BAFTAS are on BBC1 from 7โ€ฆ Redactor here gathering top content for tomorrowโ€™s BAFTAS SCHMAFTAS Awards Reaction Special. Thoughts ahead of tonight? Please make your BOLD PREDICTIONSโ€ฆ?
