'All Quiet on the Western Front' Wins Big at BAFTAs, Including Best Picture

It was a golden evening of success for All Quiet on the Western Front and The Banshees of Inisherin at the BAFTAs which took place in London on Sunday. All Quiet took home seven awards, including Best Picture and Best Director for Edward Berger, while Banshees won two of the four acting awards, original screenplay and Best British Film. Heading into the evening's proceedings, All Quiet, the Netflix-backed film, led the pack with 14 nominations.

As a result, the German-language World War I drama found itself tied with Ang Lee's Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon for the most nominations for a non-English language movie in BAFTA history. Martin McDonagh's Irish tragi-comedy The Banshees of Inisherin, starring Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson had an equally impressive run in the build up to the event, performing spectacularly in the acting categories with wins for Kerry Condon and Barry Keoghan.

Following on from the DGA Awards earlier in the weekend, the BAFTAs are seen as an important precursor for what will happen on Oscar night, although the British Academy did veer quite significantly this year from their American counterparts by including The Woman King’s Viola Davis and Till’s Danielle Deadwyler nominations in Lead Actress, as well as all but ignoring Oscar big hitters Avatar: The Way of Water and The Fablemans.
