BAFTA 2007 Winners Announced
The Orange British Academy Film Awards 2007 took place tonight at the Royal Opera House in London's trendy Covent Garden and Rotten Tomatoes UK were there to sip champagne and do our very best to stay sober enough to report back to you. And it was a ceremony full of surprises; an open field outside of Best Actor and Actress (which went to Forest Whitaker for Last King of Scotland and Helen Mirren for The Queen respectively) with no one film winning more than three awards.
Last King of Scotland and, somewhat surprisingly, Pan's Labyrinth shared that honour while Little Miss Sunshine and United 93 took two awards each. Jennifer Hudson took home Best Supporting Actress for her performance in Dreamgirls, and Alan Arkin snagged Best Supporting Actor for Little Miss Sunshine.
Casino Royale, which had snagged eight nominations, took home only one award - for Best Sound - though its star Eva Green nabbed Orange's Rising Star award; the only award
Andrea Arnold won the Carl Foreman Award for Special Achievement by a British Director, Writer or Producer in their First Feature Film for her direction of Red Road. In the broader Director category, the honour went to Paul Greengrass for United 93. Special awards were presented to Anne V Coates - recipient of the Academy Fellowship - and Nick Daubeny who took home The Michael Balcon Award for Oustanding British Contribution to Cinema.
We'll have more from the BAFTAs for you very soon, but for now... onto the winners list!

on Feb 12 2007 03:27 AM Was a good show and was great to see British films doing well..Although i want Scorcese to win best director at the Oscars Greengrass dealt with his film so well i kinds want him to get ti too. My only complaint is James McAvoy not gettign best supporting actor - he is one of the best actors around at this moment and i loved Little miss sunshine but it doesnt deserve all its nominations. Babela nd The Departed were both up for numerous awards but as they say - there can only be one winner! (Reply to this) |
 on Feb 12 2007 08:59 AM A pretty nice varied group of winners, The Departed should have won some though(Scorsese). Happy that Little Miss Sunshine(hell yeah for Arkin), Pan's Labyrinth, Casino Royal and Pirates won some. (Reply to this) |
