British cinema’s night of nights threw up some big surprises and the odd difficult one, too. Overall, though, the BAFTA voters played roughly the tunes everyone expected – with only Marty Supreme and Timothée Chalamet’s loss to Robert Aramayo for I Swear in the Best Actor category counting as the one major surprise. Elsewhere, Paul Thomas Anderson’s revolutionary caper picked up one award after another and Jessie Buckley’s heart-rending performance in Hamnet earned the Irish actress the gong everyone predicted.
But, hey, art isn’t a competition – it’s really about sharing the good word on excellent films (and Marty Supreme is definitely one of those) and this year has thrown up more than a handful of them. And better yet, almost all of them are available to stream right now. Here’s where to do it.
One Battle After Another – Best Film, Director, Adapted Screenplay, Supporting Actor, Cinematography and Editing
The night’s biggest winner was Paul Thomas Anderson’s counter-culture thriller, starring Leonardo DiCaprio as a burnt-out revolutionary, Chase Infiniti as his firebrand daughter, and Sean Penn as a military type with issues. The film, surely a hot Oscar favourite, won six BAFTAs, including Best Film, Director, Adapted Screenplay, Supporting Actor for Penn, Cinematography and Editing.
Where to stream One Battle After Another: it’s available to rent on all the main PVOD platforms, including Curzon, Prime Video and Apple TV, for a fiver.
Hamnet – Outstanding British Film and Leading Actress
Jessie Buckley was a popular winner for Best Actress for her turn as Agnes Shakespeare in Chloé Zhao’s devastating grief memoir. An international production across the board but filmed entirely in the UK, the film also took away the Outstanding British Film.
Where to stream Hamnet: it’s just landed on streaming so you’ll be able to rent (£15.99) or buy it (£19.99) on all the major PVOD platforms.
I Swear – Best Actor
No question about the night’s big surprise: Robert Aramayo’s triumph in the Best Actor bracket. Already the BAFTA Rising Star winner for this year, the relative newcomer picked up the big prize for his performance as Tourette’s campaigner John Davidson.
Where to stream I Swear: rent it on YouTube and Google Play for £3.49.
Frankenstein – Best Costume Design, Make Up & Hair and Production Design
As expected, Guillermo Del Toro’s monster movie lurched away with big wins in the craft categories, including Costume Design, Make Up & Hair and Production Design.
Where to stream Frankenstein: On Netflix now.
Sinners – Original Screenplay for Ryan Coogler, Supporting Actress, Original Score
Ryan Coogler’s blockbusting musical vampire horror missed out on Best Film but won three BAFTAs on the night, including a very popular Best Supporting Actress win for Wunmi Mosaku and an Original Screenplay triumph for Coogler himself.
Where to stream Sinners: currently, it’s only available to buy. You can download it to keep for £9.99 from Apple TV, Prime Video et al. It’s also streaming on NOW TV’s Cinema Memberships package, which costs £6.99 for a minimum of 12 months.
Sentimental Value – Film Not in the English Language
Joachim Trier is a master of modern character dramas and his latest is another quiet gem. It missed out in the acting categories but won in the BAFTAs’ equivalent of Best International Film. Expect an Oscar to follow.
Where to stream Sentimental Value: your best bet is to subscribe to MUBI, where a seven-day free trial is available. Alternatively, you can buy it on Prime Video, Rakuten TV, Sky Store and all the usual suspects for £13.99 and upwards.
My Father’s Shadow – Outstanding Debut
Filmmaking siblings Wade and Akinola Davies Jr channelled their own boyhoods in Nigerian into the powerful and personal My Father’s Shadow. It won the pair an Outstanding Debut BAFTA.
Where to stream My Father’s Shadow: Catch it in UK cinemas.
Mr. Nobody Against Putin – Documentary
David Borenstein and Pavel Talankin’s penetrating doc, filmed over two years in a Urals primary school, lays bare the levels of state control in Putin’s Russia. The film, which premiered at Sundance last year, won Best Documentary.
Where to stream Mr. Nobody Against Putin: It’s on BBC iPlayer now.
Zootropolis 2 – Animated Film
With $1.7 billion clutched in its sweaty paws, Disney’s animated sequel now has awards love to go with all that cashola. Zootropolis 2 won Best Animation. If it wins the same award at the Oscars under its US name of Zootopia, will it be the first film to win under two different names? We’ll look that up.
Where to stream Zootropolis 2: It’s not on Disney+, and there’s no date for that yet, but you can rent it for £15.99 or buy it for £19.99. Prime Video, Apple TV and the Sky Store are the sort of places to go.
