BAFTA Film Awards 2026 Winners: One Battle After Another and Sinners Dominate the Ceremony with Multiple Wins
The 79th BAFTA Awards ceremony is a wrap, with this year’s winners giving Hollywood something to cheer about from the UK’s Royal Festival Hall at London’s Southbank Centre. Hosted by The Traitors‘ master of ceremonies and 2004 Aromatic Fougere inspiration (remember Cumming, the cologne?) Alan Cumming, this year’s show finds Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another leading the pack with 14 nominations, followed by Ryan Coogler’s stroke of genius (and my favorite live-action movie of the year), Sinners, with 13 noms. Following close behind are Chloé Zhao’s Hamnet and Josh Safdie’s Marty Supreme, both with 11 nominations.
It’s a tight race this year, especially with One Battle After Another, Sinners, and Hamnet being favorites among the bunch. However, there can be only one winner of the grand prize. So, why don’t we take a look at this year’s winners and see how things turned out?
