Hello and welcome back to London's oil Albert Hall where the British | :00:21. | :00:27. | |
Academy film awards are just concluding another ceremony for | :00:28. | :00:31. | |
another year. In the presence of a host of celebrities and the Duke and | :00:32. | :00:37. | |
Duchess of Cambridge. La La Land has done pretty well tonight. It was a | :00:38. | :00:45. | |
love letter to Los Angeles, not perhaps the clean sweep we expected. | :00:46. | :00:48. | |
Jason Solomons has been watching with me. It garnered so many | :00:49. | :00:54. | |
nominations, it has performed well but not swept the board. 11 | :00:55. | :00:59. | |
nominations, it was led to believe it might be going for a record, | :01:00. | :01:04. | |
eight or nine would have put it up there with the highest ever Bafta | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
awards, but early on it was performing very well. By the end it | :01:09. | :01:16. | |
did, it won five Baftas. Emma Stone for best actress, best director for | :01:17. | :01:27. | |
Damien Chouly El, and best actor. It is an escapist musical? It is the | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
film at the moment that is giving people a lift, a bit of sunshine in | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
an ever darkening world is how it has been pitched. And that is | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
interesting because for people who haven't seen it, it is so Los | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
Angeles, so Hollywood, steeped in that world, and I think we were | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
interested to see whether the British Academy, a different set of | :01:49. | :01:51. | |
voters from the Academy Awards in the states, from the Golden Globe | :01:52. | :01:57. | |
is, might not be quite as in thrall to that as an American judge might | :01:58. | :02:03. | |
be. Indeed, but it turns out that the charm of the leads, Ryan Gosling | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
and Emma Stone, and the craft of it all, it won for cinematography, | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
those memorable shots of dancing on the freeware, the levitating people | :02:14. | :02:17. | |
in the Griffith Observatory, the texture of the film, it has kind of | :02:18. | :02:24. | |
one people over, and also the music which is rather an interesting | :02:25. | :02:26. | |
score, because it is not an old-fashioned musical. People think | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
they are seeing singing in the rain, but it isn't that, it is a modern | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
musical, young indyref2 and that happens to have singing and dancing. | :02:36. | :02:41. | |
Yes if you go expecting an outer night musical, might be | :02:42. | :02:49. | |
disappointed. And let's talk about Ben Affleck's brother Casey, he was | :02:50. | :02:57. | |
so well known, but that is becoming turned around. Yes, maybe now Ben | :02:58. | :03:03. | |
Affleck will be known as the less well-known older brother. He is this | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
frozen janitor from Boston who has to gently thought as he read the -- | :03:09. | :03:16. | |
reintegrate himself into his all live in Manchester By The Sea. This | :03:17. | :03:25. | |
was a very moving speech, and he said this is why he acts, he isn't | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
as talented as the guys doing animation or the acrobats, if I was | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
more talented, I might do that, but I act. And that was a very well | :03:34. | :03:39. | |
delivered speech, and I think it warned people to him, because it is | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
not a warm performance, rather chilling one. He is not a likeable | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
character in it. It is one of those films that you really appreciate and | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
the script is good and the cinematography, but you don't warm | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
to his character at all. It is the opposite to La La Land, it is grim | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
and frozen and cold, but the screenwriter and director, Kenneth | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
Lonergan, won for original screenplay as well. And we might see | :04:07. | :04:12. | |
those screen awards repeated at the Oscars. It is almost literary in its | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
execution, it has different phases. The real action of the film is | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
buried in the past, and we find that out halfway through the film what | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
that was, so it is very well structured and it might almost be | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
French. That is a good way of putting it. You mentioned it picked | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
up the award for original screenplay, adapted screenplay went | :04:34. | :04:39. | |
to Lion, possibly some surprise but it is picked up a couple of awards | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
and is a popular choice when Dev Patel picked up the acting award in | :04:43. | :04:48. | |
a strong category. Absolutely, you can see the people filing out now, | :04:49. | :04:55. | |
the ceremony is over. Lion picked up two awards, that is currently out in | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
UK cinemas, and it is a global story about a kid from Calcutta who is | :05:00. | :05:04. | |
taken off the streets and adopted by Nicole Kidman in Tasmania, he grows | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
up to become Dev Patel, and this was a very well received win. Bafta feel | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
some ownership over him, he is the boy who grew up in British TV, he is | :05:15. | :05:24. | |
just from down the road, and we kind of feel that we own him in some way. | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
He said it is a film about family, and his family were here in the | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
audience, and it was a very warm moment, and sometimes you realise | :05:34. | :05:36. | |
that the Baftas is quite a small club, and I think he is the poster | :05:37. | :05:42. | |
boy tonight. It means a big British star is born with Dev Patel, he has | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
been around a long time but he is only 25, a lot of good performances | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
to come. Even younger than I thought! And what is so striking, | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
Luke Davis picking up that award for the screenplay for Lion. And also | :05:57. | :06:02. | |
the little boy who is in the first half of the film, who plays the | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
young Dev Patel, and the film you could argue is worth seeing just | :06:06. | :06:08. | |
him, it is quite extraordinary what they achieve with someone so young. | :06:09. | :06:15. | |
He was six when they first put him in the film. He was cast off the | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
streets in India, they saw 2500 children and they found a gem. Not | :06:21. | :06:26. | |
nominated, possibly unfairly, because if he had been, it would | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
have been unfair not to give it to him. A few years ago at the Baftas | :06:31. | :06:36. | |
when Jamie bell, little Billy Elliot, Peter Russell Crowe to the | :06:37. | :06:41. | |
best actor prize. But the film did very well, it is a tear-jerker about | :06:42. | :06:44. | |
people trying to find their family and find their sense of belonging, | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
so it takes many boxes for many people, but able cry in different | :06:50. | :06:55. | |
places, in the start, at the end. I think I cried at all of it! One of | :06:56. | :07:01. | |
the things that sets the British Academy Awards parties we have a | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
separate category for Best British film, and I should not the fact that | :07:06. | :07:08. | |
most of your predictions are coming tonight, and indeed, the Ken Loach | :07:09. | :07:15. | |
film, I Daniel Blake took the award, an extraordinary film maker still | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
working at the age of 80. Yes, he won outstanding British film for I | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
Daniel Blake. I should have put some money on this! The very first award | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
they give out here is outstanding British film, and it went to Ken | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
Loach who has been doing this for 50 years, 50 years, such a titan of the | :07:35. | :07:47. | |
British film industry, and Cathy Come Home was a famous TV movie, so | :07:48. | :07:52. | |
it is extraordinary that he is still doing it, it is still relevant, and | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
that is the point. It is relevant and hard-hitting, and a shocking | :07:58. | :08:03. | |
film, as Cathy Come Home was, sad because the politics of the country | :08:04. | :08:09. | |
have not moved on enough. All of the award ceremonies in America have | :08:10. | :08:13. | |
been making speeches against Donald Trump and stuff, have we been | :08:14. | :08:18. | |
thinking that we might get that here? Ken Loach gave a searing | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
indictment of the divide that separates the country between the | :08:24. | :08:28. | |
haves and the have nots. And he said the film-makers in this room, | :08:29. | :08:31. | |
despite the glitz and glamour, they know that they have to be on the | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
side of the people, and that is very important for film-makers to tell | :08:36. | :08:38. | |
stories that are relevant, and he is right, because if audiences don't | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
come, the film makers don't make the money, so they have to go for it. It | :08:43. | :08:49. | |
did hit home. So it thoroughly deserves that, and it is the | :08:50. | :08:52. | |
outstanding British film of the year, it won in Cannes last year. | :08:53. | :09:00. | |
I'm delighted that award, sorry for the others that were up against it, | :09:01. | :09:03. | |
but it is a once-in-a-lifetime phenomenon in. We talked a lot about | :09:04. | :09:09. | |
the winners, but interesting to just pick-up on what we were discussing | :09:10. | :09:12. | |
out on the red carpet a couple of hours ago. Nothing at all for | :09:13. | :09:17. | |
Moonlight, which surely is one of the best films of the season, but | :09:18. | :09:20. | |
sadly nothing tonight. One of the stories to emerge from tonight is a | :09:21. | :09:25. | |
complete shutout for Moonlight, which I think was one of my | :09:26. | :09:28. | |
favourite film is going in, and many people's favourites to come out of | :09:29. | :09:34. | |
the UK yet. It is a favourite at the Oscars and here. And I really | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
thought it would get some. There was a point when it seemed every film | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
that was nominated were getting something, 15 films had got | :09:43. | :09:45. | |
something, and I said, but not Moonlight yet, and I realised it was | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
going to be the film that suffered. Nothing to Naomi Harris, nothing for | :09:50. | :09:56. | |
the texture of the performances. It was shutout, and I feel that that is | :09:57. | :10:00. | |
going to create some waves. I think it is a real shame because it is | :10:01. | :10:05. | |
such a beautiful film. Bafta had a chance to reward it somewhere and it | :10:06. | :10:08. | |
seems to have missed that opportunity, and people will be | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
noting that in America, they might accuse Bafta of some kind of | :10:13. | :10:15. | |
institutional racism, I'm not saying that that is true, because of course | :10:16. | :10:22. | |
via the Davis and Dev Patel won, but it was seen as a real flag bearer | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
for the diversity debate which is occupied the British can and the | :10:28. | :10:33. | |
Oscar academy. And you mentioned Viola Davis, she has won for Fences | :10:34. | :10:41. | |
by Denzel Washington, a fabulous actress, always gives a great | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
performance, but there were others in that category we might have | :10:46. | :10:48. | |
thought might come through, Naomi Harris possibly Haley Squires, a | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
searing performance again in the Ken Loach film. Yes, and I always think | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
the Bafta audience tend to go for the homegirl the homeboy, they tend | :10:57. | :11:01. | |
to vote for the person closer to home, it is unusual for them to go | :11:02. | :11:04. | |
for an American actress ahead of them. Perhaps the most interesting | :11:05. | :11:11. | |
category out there, Haley Squires is terrific in I Daniel Blake, you feel | :11:12. | :11:15. | |
the cold and hunger affecting her. And Naomi Harris in such a short | :11:16. | :11:21. | |
time in that film, Moonlight, gives a beautiful performance as a mother | :11:22. | :11:23. | |
struggling with crack addiction and trying to love her child, but Viola | :11:24. | :11:30. | |
Davis, you see the picture of her crying, she does snotty crying | :11:31. | :11:36. | |
better than any other actress on the planet. I am fond of Fences, people | :11:37. | :11:43. | |
said it was theatrical and it is a adaptation of a performance that | :11:44. | :11:48. | |
already won her a Tony award. It is almost a film record of that | :11:49. | :11:51. | |
performance, but there is something with the cameras, doing the | :11:52. | :11:54. | |
close-up, doing the performance again, and it is hard to argue with | :11:55. | :11:58. | |
except you might have thought, we are Bafta, we should have awarded it | :11:59. | :12:02. | |
to a Brit, but that is me being parochial. Oney of the other things | :12:03. | :12:06. | |
that Bafta does a little differently, the category of rising | :12:07. | :12:12. | |
star, and that is voted for by the public, a panel chooses the short | :12:13. | :12:15. | |
list but then the public are able to vote for who they want. And when Tom | :12:16. | :12:22. | |
Holland stood up and accepted the award, I thought, my goodness, are | :12:23. | :12:26. | |
you only 20? With that poise and confidence. He has played Billy | :12:27. | :12:31. | |
Elliot on the London West End stage, maybe that is partly where that | :12:32. | :12:33. | |
comes from, but what did you make of that? I said on the red carpet | :12:34. | :12:38. | |
earlier that it is the person who always ends up in the biggest film, | :12:39. | :12:41. | |
always ends up winning, because the public vote, they haven't seen this, | :12:42. | :12:48. | |
he is Spiderman in the forthcoming Spiderman movie, we had a taster of | :12:49. | :12:52. | |
him in the Captain America movie earlier this year, last year, and so | :12:53. | :12:58. | |
those Spiderman fan boys are voting away on their phones saying, Tom | :12:59. | :13:03. | |
Holland, he is a great little actor, only 20, seemed kind of think, are | :13:04. | :13:07. | |
you allowed up at this time? Shouldn't you be in bed? But he is | :13:08. | :13:14. | |
20. He is the son of Radio 4 comic and pundit Dominic Holland, and he | :13:15. | :13:19. | |
has been around acting on the London stage, but Spiderman as a whole | :13:20. | :13:25. | |
other level. These things are not easy to do, and he owns a massive | :13:26. | :13:29. | |
blockbuster like that, and I think he could be Spiderman 434 films, | :13:30. | :13:34. | |
which would make him one of the biggest stars on the planet, so he | :13:35. | :13:37. | |
probably is a rising star that we will hear much more than next | :13:38. | :13:41. | |
decade. And by then he will still only be 30! On the stage giving the | :13:42. | :13:50. | |
Curzon chain, she said I got a Bafta award in 1978 for promising | :13:51. | :13:54. | |
newcomer, who knew I would be back so soon, she said sometimes it takes | :13:55. | :14:01. | |
a while to repay that. It is getting very noisy here, but let's have a | :14:02. | :14:04. | |
quick thought about the fellowship, because this is awarded this year by | :14:05. | :14:08. | |
Prince William, presented by Prince William, to someone you particularly | :14:09. | :14:13. | |
revere, I know. Yes, I am a massive fan of tonight's recipient, Mel | :14:14. | :14:17. | |
books, with films like the Producers and Young Frankenstein and tap back | :14:18. | :14:26. | |
blazing Saddles, the zany comic films, Young Frankenstein played by | :14:27. | :14:31. | |
Marty Feldman and the wonderful Gene Wilder and his performances, the | :14:32. | :14:38. | |
ultimate showbiz show in the Producers, which then became a | :14:39. | :14:40. | |
musical and then a film of the musical. We forget Mel Brooks made | :14:41. | :14:47. | |
the Elephant Man, he produced that. He has been a Titan for many years, | :14:48. | :14:54. | |
grew up in 50s stand that American Jewish humour and was great to see | :14:55. | :14:59. | |
him on the Bafta stage tonight, he has still got it, that Brooklyn | :15:00. | :15:03. | |
twang going on, and it was great to see that gruffness, but also | :15:04. | :15:07. | |
elegance. I think on a night when the Baftas were not the most | :15:08. | :15:11. | |
exciting, a little bit of zaniness and humour was brought by him, it is | :15:12. | :15:16. | |
a fantastic award for him, and him receiving it from Prince William, | :15:17. | :15:20. | |
when he satirises royals many times in his history of the world films, | :15:21. | :15:26. | |
to see him getting an award from one is something he probably never dream | :15:27. | :15:30. | |
of. Jason Solomons, many thanks as ever. The Baftas are over for | :15:31. | :15:33. | |
another year, but awards ceremony season is not. We are still a couple | :15:34. | :15:38. | |
of weeks away from the Oscars, so let's see whether voters at the | :15:39. | :15:41. | |
Academy reflect the sort of results we have seen here tonight at the | :15:42. | :15:45. | |
British Academy film awards. You can find the full list of all the | :15:46. | :15:48. | |
winners on the BBC website of course, and lots of photos from the | :15:49. | :15:53. | |
red carpet as well. But from a very noisy well but Hall in London, phone | :15:54. | :16:00. | |
app, for this year, it is goodbye. -- from a very noisy while Albert | :16:01. | :16:03. | |
Hall in London, for now, goodbye. America and Japan have strongly | :16:04. | :16:18. | |
condemned North Korea, for test-firing a ballistic missile, | :16:19. | :16:25. | |
the first since Donald Trump | :16:26. | :16:29. |
