News: BAFTAs 2006'British Oscars' honour
|
Brokeback Mountain made the biggest splash at this year’s British Academy of Film And Television Arts awards ceremony held in London’s Leicester Square on February 19, taking four of the most coveted prizes. Director Ang Lee’s tale of forbidden love took Best Film, Best Adapted Screenplay and awards for Jake Gyllenhaal’s supporting role and Lee’s direction. Although the film looked set to completely sweep the board, Brokeback star Heath Ledger lost out to Phillip Seymour Hoffman in the Best Actor In A Leading Role category, Hoffman taking the award for his performance in Capote. Although Brokeback Mountain was hotly tipped to do well, it was thought to be facing strong competition from The Constant Gardener. Director Fernando Meirelles (City of God) film was nominated in several categories but ended up taking only the editing award. Rachel Weisz was a front runner for the Best Actress in Leading Role award for her part in the film, but the statue went to Reese Witherspoon for her role in Johnny Cash biopic Walk the Line. It wasn’t all bad news for the British though as Thandie Newton won Best Actress In A Supporting Role for her performance in racism drama Crash. Highlights of the ceremony included aging actor Peter Sallis joining Aardman Animation mastermind Nick Park on stage to take the Alexander Korda Award for the Outstanding British Film of the Year for Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit. Lord David Puttnam also caused a stir with a rousing speech championing the selection of intelligent films at this year’s ceremony. Puttnam was on stage to accept the Academy Fellowship award, the highest honour the Academy can bestow for services to the film industry.
