Boyhood Named Best Film at BAFTA Awards for 2014

Wes Anderson’s The Grand Budapest Hotel received the most awards with five wins out of its 11 nominations, including for Anderson’s Original Screenplay, and awards for Costume Design, Production Design, Hair & Makeup and for Alexandre Desplat’s score. 

The Leading Actor award went to Eddie Redmayne for his portrayal of Professor Stephen Hawking in The Theory of Everything, following his Golden Globe and SAG wins, which puts him in the lead to win in the category on Oscar night. The Theory of Everything was also honored as Outstanding British Film and for its Adapted Screenplay.

Julianne Moore continued her awards sweep for her performance in the drama Still Alice while J.K. Simmons received another Supporting Actor honor for his performance in Damien Chazelle’s Whiplash, which received further BAFTA honors for is Editing and Sound. 

Thought to be Boyhood’s biggest competition, Alejandro Inarritu’s Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) only received one BAFTA award for Emmanuel Lubezki’s cinematography.

The Imitation Game, which has been thought to be a serious contender during awards season, was completely shut-out at the BAFTAs despite being a very British film.
