After going virtual last year because of the coronavirus pandemic, celebrities came dashing the red carpet during the in-person ceremony of the 75th British Academy of Film Awards held at London’s Royal Albert Hall.
Last Sunday, March 13, the annual award show hosted by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts revealed the winners for the 2022 EE British Academy Film Awards – which celebrates the best in films of the previous year. Oscar-nominated ‘The Power of Dog’ bagged the evening’s biggest award for the Best Film while ‘Belfast’ became the Outstanding British Film.
On the other hand, Will Smith took home the Best Leading Actor for his powerful portrayal in the King Richard film while British actress Joanna Scanlan of After Love won the Best Leading Actress award.
