2018 BAFTA Winners: 'Three Billboards' takes top prize

BAFTA

The annual BAFTA — British Academy of Film and Television Arts awards — ceremony was held this past weekend, with Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri taking home the top prize.

The BAFTA ceremony can sometimes be seen as a predictor for the Academy Awards, which are being held in a couple weeks. However, the Best Film award between the British Awards and the Oscars hasn’t matched since 2013 when 12 Years a Slave won in both shows.

What really shakes things up is that Guillermo del Toro won Best Director for The Shape of Water at the BAFTA ceremony — meaning this really is a neck and neck race for Best Picture between Three Billboards and Shape of Water.

The rest of the winners is, more or less, probably what you’d expect. Paddington 2 got some additional love (given that it's a very British film), which is cool, and Blade Runner 2049 wound up taking home lots of the visual awards.
