It was a big night for All Quiet on the Western Front at the BAFTAs 2023. The German war drama led the night's winners, taking home seven awards, including Best Film, Best Director, and Best Adapted Screenplay.
The Banshees of Inisherin and Elvis came in joint second place, with four wins apiece. Banshees' Barry Keoghan and Kerry Condon took home the Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress awards, while Elvis' Austin Butler won Best Leading Actor. Elsewhere, Cate Blanchett won Best Leading Actress for TÁR.
The awards ceremony has drawn criticism for its lack of diversity in this year's winners. Everything Everywhere All at Once was nominated in 10 categories, the same as The Banshees of Inisherin, but only took home the gong for Best Editing. Movies like The Woman King and Till, which were both directed by Black women and whose casts consisted predominantly of non-white actors, were also snubbed.
