The 70th British Academy Film Awards, and for sponsorship reasons the EE British Academy Film Awards, more commonly known as the BAFTAs, were held on 12 February 2017 at the Royal Albert Hall in London, honouring the best national and foreign films of 2016. Presented by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts, accolades were handed out for the best feature-length film and documentaries of any nationality that were screened at British cinemas in 2016.
The nominees were announced on 10 January 2017 by actor Dominic Cooper and actress Sophie Turner. La La Land received the most nominations in eleven categories, including Best Film, Best Director (Damien Chazelle), Best Actor in a Leading Role (Ryan Gosling), Best Actress in a Leading Role (Emma Stone), and Best Original Screenplay (Chazelle).[1]Arrival and Nocturnal Animals followed with nine nominations each.[1]
The leading British films were Ken Loach's I, Daniel Blake and the Harry Potter spin-off Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them with five nominations apiece and winning one award each.[1]
Following criticism at the lack of representation of ethnic minorities for the previous ceremony, BAFTA had announced steps to increase diversity across the industry, on both sides of the camera.[2][3][4] However, there was again criticism at the lack of representation of Black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) actors, directors and films in the nominations. In the leading actor, actress and director fields there were no BAME nominees, with the omission of director Barry Jenkins for Moonlight and actor/director Denzel Washington for Fences highlighted as particularly noteworthy.[3]
La La Land won the most awards at the event, winning five including Best Film. Damien Chazelle won Best Director, Emma Stone won Best Actress in a Leading Role, Linus Sandgren won Best Cinematography, and Justin Hurwitz won Best Original Music.[5] Both Manchester by the Sea and Lion won two awards each. Casey Affleck won Best Actor in a Leading Role and Kenneth Lonergan won Best Original Screenplay for Manchester by the Sea, while Dev Patel won Best Actor in a Supporting Role and Luke Davies won Best Adapted Screenplay for Lion. Additionally, Viola Davis won Best Actress in a Supporting Role for her role in Fences and Mel Brooks was awarded the BAFTA Fellowship for his contribution to cinema.[6]
