British Academy of Film and Television Arts AwardBAFTA) quite often foreshadow the Oscars by predicting the winners.

This is because there is some overlap between BAFTA and American Academy voters. Unlike last year, the winners of this year’s UK Awards (together with the SAG Awards on February 27) have a much easier time influencing the Oscar voting, which starts on March 2 and ends on March 7. The 95th Academy Awards will take place March 12 in Los Angeles..

There was nothing but a surprise at the 2022 BAFTA event: Jane Campion’s The Power of the Dog managed to win Best Picture, as did the Golden Globes and Critics’ Choice Awards. But it was expected that he would receive a statuette in the Adapted Screenplay category. Instead, the award went to “CODA”, the underdog of the season.

But this year, that doesn’t seem to happen. Why; In almost every category, a lot seems to have changed. Until last Sunday the filmAll(“Everything, Everywhere, All At Once”) directed by Dan Kwan, Daniel Scheinert starred. Winning the Directors Guild of America Awards proved the film’s industry support, and its dominance at the Critics Choice Awards confirmed how well it can handle the rest of the awards season. However, in addition to the BAFTA for Best Editing, the British Academy “snobbed” the successful film project of the production company A24. And gave a large number of awards to the film Netflix “No newer than the Western Front(“All Quiet on the Western Front”), including in the categories “Best Film”, “Best Director” and “Adapted Screenplay”. It is also the third film produced by the platform to win the top prize, after Roma and Power of the Dog. As for No Younger Than the Western Front, the American Academy did not include Edward Berger in the top five with Oscar nominations for Best Director.

So, after the BAFTA triumph, can he win an Oscar? Reality: It would be unprecedented for a film to miss out on the SAG, PGA and DGA nominations and win the Best Picture Oscar outright. Berger’s project is the first film in almost 40 years to win the equivalent of a BAFTA without these nominations.

As for the creatorsAll‘, they may have missed out on the BAFTA for directing, but they have nothing to fear from the Oscars since Berger is not their competitor. In other victories, things get more interesting. Even Jonathan Kee Kuan, who didn’t lose a single award in the Supporting Actor category, fell for Barry Keoghan (The Spirits of Inniserin). Director Martin McDonagh won Best Screenplay, which he can repeat at the Oscars, while Kerry Condon won the BAFTA Award for Best Supporting Actress.

The BAFTA Award for Best Actor went to Austin Butler for his performance in Baz Luhrmann’sElvis“. But as far as the Oscars are concerned, Colin Farrell is a big favorite for the corresponding award for his role in the film “Spirits of Inisherin“. In the nomination “Best Actress” Cate Blanchett was awarded in all competitions for the role of Lydia Tarr in the film “Tarand this shows that there are many chances for her to receive a third Oscar in her career.

But many of these winners must have “born” new hopes of winning the upcoming big film festival. And this unpredictability is more fun.
