The BAFTA Film Awards 2025 was a star-studded spectacle that left fans both clamoring for more and ogling at the dazzling fashion statements. Held at the illustrious Royal Festival Hall in London on February 16th, the annual ceremony saw fierce contenders strut their stuff on the red carpet while vying for one of the industry's most coveted accolades. This year, 'Conclave' emerged triumphant, beating fellow competitor 'The Brutalist' for the Best Picture award, with both films snagging four wins each, keeping the excitement high amidst the anticipation of next month's Oscars.

Tinseltown's heavyweights were out in full force, with the likes of Mikey Madison and the ever-charismatic Adrien Brody receiving actor awards, prompting more than a few gasps from the audience. Demi Moore, fresh from rumoured comeback talks, could only settle for watching Sarah Jessica Parker and Ariana Grande captivate onlookers as they illuminated the red carpet with their stunning outfits. From sequins to ski masks, the creativity was palpable, and attendees seemed keen on breaking fashion trends rather than following them, making this year's red carpet an unforgettable showcase of glamour and unpredictability.

Each year, the BAFTAs not only recognize the best films but also the artistic genius behind them. This year saw 'The Brutalist' securing impressive wins including both Director and Leading Actor for Brady Corbet and Adrien Brody respectively. Likewise, the director's keen vision and dedicated performances shone through, rousing applause, while 'Anora' took home two BAFTAs for Leading Performance. To say the competition was fierce would be an understatement; with nail-biting tension leading up to the ceremony, every nominee knew what was at stake, especially with the Oscar buzz looming large.

As the event unfolded, fashionistas dissected the outfits that graced the red carpet—Demi Moore dazzled in a figure-hugging gown while Selena Gomez's sparkling Schiaparelli ensemble made its mark. Meanwhile, Kieran Culkin and Zoe Saldana also delivered standout looks that’ll probably be talked about for years to come. It’s clear that the BAFTAs are not just about the awards; they're a celebration of artistry in film and fashion that makes us laugh, gasp, and appreciate the excitement of cinema.

And did you know that since 1976, the BAFTAs have recognized New Zealand filmmakers too? Kiwis have won four BAFTAs, with director Taika Waititi making significant waves internationally. Additionally, the BAFTA Awards played a pivotal role in launching the careers of many famous actors who now grace our screens. So whether you're interested in who's wearing what or cheering for your fav film, the BAFTAs make for a fantastic cinematic celebration!
