The acclaimed drama Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri was the big winner at this year`s BAFTA awards. The movie claimed five prizes at the British film awards ceremony, which is seen as an indicator of who might succeed at the Oscars next month.Three Billboards won Best film, Best British Film, Best Actress (Frances McDormand), Best Supporting Actor (Sam Rockwell), and Best Original Screenplay for writer/director Martin McDonagh.McDonagh was also nominated for Best Director, but that prize was taken home by Guillermo Del Toro for The Shape of Water. Del Toro`s offbeat sci-fi fantasy actually led the pack in terms of nominations--12, compared to Three Billboard`s nine. But in the end, it had to settle three wins--Best Director, Best Original Music, and Best Production Design.Elsewhere, Gary Oldman won Best Actor for Darkest Hour, Allison Janney won Best Supporting Actress for I, Tonya, and Coco claimed Best Animated Film. Blade Runner 2049 won Best Cinematography and Best Visual Effects, while Get Out star Daniel Kaluuya took home the Rising Star award, which is voted on by the public.Check out the full list of winners below:Best filmThree Billboards Outside Ebbing, MissouriOutstanding British filmThree Billboards Outside Ebbing, MissouriLeading actressFrances McDormand--Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, MissouriLeading actorGary Oldman--Darkest HourSupporting actressAllison Janney--I, TonyaSupporting actorSam Rockwell--Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, MissouriDirectorThe Shape Of Water--Guillermo Del ToroEE Rising Star Award (voted for by the public)Daniel KaluuyaOutstanding debut by a British writer, director or producerI Am Not A WitchFilm not in the English languageThe HandmaidenDocumentaryI Am Not Your NegroAnimated filmCocoOriginal screenplayThree Billboards Outside Ebbing, MissouriAdapted screenplayCall Me By Your NameOriginal musicThe Shape Of Water--Alexandre DesplatCinematographyBlade Runner 2049--Roger DeakinsEditingBaby Driver--Jonathan Amos, ...
