It's the biggest night in British cinema as the BAFTAs 2025 take place at Southbank Centre's Royal Festival Hall in London. Leading the nominations this year was pope election thriller Conclave with 12 nominations, followed by Spanish-language musical Emilia Pérez with 11, then post-war drama The Brutalist with nine nods. Anora and A Complete Unknown were the other two titles battling it out for Best Film.

What's interesting about this year's awards season is how unpredictable it's shaping up to be – there's a notable lack of consensus around who will win Best Picture at the Oscars on 2nd March, and much of the buzz around the BAFTAs every year – aside from its celebration of British talent – is its ability to predict the Oscars front-runners. Last year, the winners of the top six categories were identical between the two ceremonies.

From a surprise win for Anora's Mikey Madison to big wins for Conclave and The Brutalist, here's every nominee and winner at the BAFTAs 2025.
