On Sunday night, famous actors from around the world gathered at the Royal Albert Hall in London, as the Bafta award was presented for the 75th time.
The Norwegian film “The World’s Worst Man” was nominated in two categories, but won nothing.
Director Joachim Trier was nominated for best non-English film, while Renate Reinsve was nominated for best female lead.
It’s stealing the prize
It was Joanna Scanlan, for her role in the film “After Love”, who escaped with the award for best female lead, reports AFP.
The best non-English language film is “Drive My Car” by Japanese director Ryusuke Hamaguchi.
“I’m excited and I don’t understand that I’m standing here considering all the other nominations,” Hamaguchi said as he accepted the award, according to Sky News.
The Bafta, or British Academy Film Awards, are the British version of the Oscars and the awards are given out annually in London.
Very excited
On the way to the awards ceremony, Reinsve was interviewed by reporter Tom Allen at BAFTA’s own red carpet broadcast.
– You could win for “The World’s Worst Man”, but you don’t look so bad? Allen jokes.
– You will be surprised, replied Reinsve.
He made no secret of the fact that he had high hopes.
