BAFTA Award Winners 2017: ‘Three Billboards’ & ‘The Shape of Water’ Win Big

The BAFTAs took place Sunday at the Royal Albert Hall in London, honoring the best in film for 2017. Handed out by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts, they are the British equivalent of the Oscars and are seen as a major precursor, considering they share many of the same voters. Gary Oldman, Frances McDormand, Sam Rockwell and Allison Janney won the acting prizes, having previously won at the Critics’ Choice, Golden Globe and SAG Awards. They are well on their way to winning Oscars.

Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri won Best Film, after winning at the Golden Globes and SAG Awards. The Shape of Water won at PGA, DGA and Critics’ Choice, so we have a real race for Best Picture here.
