Conclave, The Brutalist Win Multiple BAFTA Honors

At the 2025 BAFTA Film Awards, the papal thriller 'Conclave' and the period drama 'The Brutalist' emerged as the biggest winners, each securing four awards. 'Conclave' won Best Film, Outstanding British Film, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Editing, while 'The Brutalist' took home Best Director for Brady Corbet and Best Actor for Adrien Brody. The ceremony highlighted the popularity of 'Emilia Pérez', which won Best Film Not In The English Language amid controversies surrounding its star's social media comments. Mikey Madison unexpectedly won Best Actress for her role in 'Anora', which also faced scrutiny over its production practices. The BAFTAs, often seen as a precursor to the Oscars, took place just weeks before the Academy Awards on March 2. The awards season continues to be marred by controversies affecting various films and performances.
