“One Battle After Another” wins six prizes including best picture at Britain’s BAFTA film awards
- On Sunday, Feb. 22, 2026, the 79th BAFTA Film Awards opened at the Royal Festival Hall, London, with thousands of BAFTA academy members choosing winners and one Rising Star Award selected by public vote.
- For the fourth year, British actors are largely absent from main acting categories at the 79th BAFTA Film Awards, with only five UK actors nominated across all categories.
- A total of 46 films are shortlisted, led by One Battle After Another with 14 nominations, and Chase Infiniti is nominated for Leading Actress and the Rising Star award.
- The underrepresentation trend raises doubts about BAFTA's support for UK performers, as fewer nominations reduce exposure and opportunities for new British actors and local talent.
- The BAFTAs will be broadcast on BBC One and BBC iPlayer at 7pm, Sunday 22 February, with stars regrouping in Los Angeles for the Actor Awards on March 1 and the Oscars on March 15.
