The 77th British Academy Film Awards (BAFTAs) took place on February 18, 2024, celebrating the best in filmmaking from across the globe. Often referred to as the ‘British Oscars’, the BAFTAs recognize outstanding achievements in both British and international films released in the previous year. This year's ceremony will be held at the Royal Festival Hall in London's Southbank Centre.

Barbie gets snubbed at BAFTAs

Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer dominated the 2024 BAFTAs, winning seven awards including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Supporting Actor. Yorgos Lanthimos' Poor Things also had a strong showing, taking home five awards including Best Actress for Emma Stone. However, Greta Gerwig's Barbie has returned home with empty hands, and no win from BAFTAs, despite garnering positive critical acclaim.
