BAFTAs 2017 – La La Land wins top honor

By Tribute on February 13, 2017 | Leave a Comment

The Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling musical La La Land is looking like a lock for the Best Picture Oscar now that it has picked up yet another top prize, this time at the BAFTAs.

Damien Chazelle‘s critically-acclaimed film snagged the Best Film trophy last night (Feb. 12) at the 70th British Academy Film Awards in London.

To further cement its status as this year’s favorite picture, it was honored with four additional wins, including Best Director (Damien) and Best Leading Actress (Emma).

Two other actors continued their marches toward the Oscar podium with wins in the Leading Actor and Supporting Actress categories, respectively.

Casey Affleck took home an award for his performance in Manchester by the Sea while Viola Davis triumphed for her towering turn in Fences.

However, the Supporting Actor category featured somewhat of a surprise when Oscar frontrunner Mahershala Ali (Moonlight) was upset by Dev Patel (Lion). This was Dev’s first BAFTA win. Click to watch our interview with the actor.

Below, check out the full list of winners.
