Congratulations to Baz Luhrmann's Elvis on winning 4 BAFTA Awards - Austin Butler for Leading Actor, Costume Design, Make Up and Hair, and Casting.
Winners: Austin Butler for Best Actor, Best Casting, Best Costume design
Cast: Austin Butler, Tom Hanks, Olivia DeJonge, Dacre Montgomery, Shonka Dukureh, Luke Bracey, Kodi Smit-McPhee, and Richard Roxburgh
Synopsis: ELVIS is an epic, big-screen spectacle from Warner Bros. Pictures and visionary, Oscar-nominated filmmaker Baz Luhrmann that explores the life and music of Elvis Presley, starring Austin Butler and Oscar winner Tom Hanks. A thoroughly cinematic drama, Elvis’s (Butler) story is seen through the prism of his complicated relationship with his enigmatic manager, Colonel Tom Parker (Hanks). As told by Parker, the film delves into the complex dynamic between the two spanning over 20 years, from Presley’s rise to fame to his unprecedented stardom, against the backdrop of the evolving cultural landscape and loss of innocence in America. Central to that journey is one of the significant and influential people in Elvis’s life, Priscilla Presley.

Rising Star Award - Emma Mackey
Huge congratulations to the star of Emily, Emma Mackey, on winning the Rising Star award at this year's BAFTA ceremony. Her incredible performance as Emily Brontë is one not to be missed.
Cast: Emma Mackey, Oliver Jackson-Cohen, Fionn Whitehead, Amelia Gething, Alexandra Dowling, Adrian Dunbar, Gemma Jones and Sacha Parkinson
Synopsis: "EMILY” tells the imagined life of one of the world’s most famous authors, Emily Brontë. The film stars Emma Mackey (“Sex Education”, “Death on the Nile”) as Emily, a rebel and misfit, as she finds her voice and writes the literary classic Wuthering Heights. “EMILY” explores the relationships that inspired her – her raw, passionate sisterhood with Charlotte (Alexandra Dowling – “The Musketeers”) and Anne (Amelia Gething – “The Spanish Princess”); her first aching, forbidden love for Weightman (Oliver Jackson-Cohen – “The Lost Daughter”, “The Haunting of Bly Manor”) and her care for her maverick brother (Fionn Whitehead – “The Duke”, “Dunkirk”) whom she idolises. Frances O’Connor makes her directorial debut with “EMILY,” from her own original screenplay. The film also stars Adrian Dunbar (“Line of Duty”) and Gemma Jones (“Bridget Jones’s Baby”, “Gentleman Jack”).
