BAFTA winners: Surprises, snubs, and all the highlights

The British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) awards were handed out last night, and there were a few surprises, snubs, and a lot of great moments. Here's a recap of the highlights:
The big winners
The big winner of the night was "All Quiet on the Western Front," which took home seven awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Adapted Screenplay. Other big winners included "The Banshees of Inisherin" (four awards), "Everything Everywhere All at Once" (two awards), and "Aftersun" (two awards).
The surprises
One of the biggest surprises of the night was the win for "All Quiet on the Western Front" as Best Picture. Many had predicted that "The Banshees of Inisherin" or "Everything Everywhere All at Once" would take home the top prize.
Another surprise was the win for Austin Butler for Best Actor for his role in "Elvis." Butler was a relative unknown before the film, and his win was a major upset.
The snubs
There were also a few snubs on the night. One of the most notable was the lack of a win for "Top Gun: Maverick." The film was a huge critical and commercial success, but it was completely shut out at the BAFTAs.
Another snub was the lack of a win for Michelle Yeoh for Best Actress for her role in "Everything Everywhere All at Once." Yeoh had been a favorite to win, but she lost out to Cate Blanchett for her role in "Tár."
The highlights
Despite the snubs, there were also a lot of great moments at the BAFTAs. One of the highlights was the win for "Aftersun" for Best British Film. The film is a small, independent film that tells the story of a father and daughter on vacation. It's a beautiful and moving film, and its win is a testament to the power of independent cinema.
Another highlight was the win for Ariana DeBose for Best Supporting Actress for her role in "West Side Story." DeBose is a rising star, and her win is a well-deserved recognition of her talent.
The takeaways
The BAFTAs are one of the most prestigious awards in the film industry, and the winners are often a good indication of who will win at the Oscars. This year's winners are a mix of big-budget blockbusters and small, independent films. It's a reminder that there's room for all kinds of films in the awards race.
The BAFTAs are also a celebration of the best of British film and television. This year's winners are a testament to the creativity and talent of British filmmakers and actors.
