“All Quiet Front” wins BAFTAs 2023, breaking records with 7 wins

On the night of this Sunday, February 19, London dressed up to celebrate the 76th edition of the BAFTAs. A ceremony that was dominated by ‘All quiet on the front’, the German film by Edward Berger which swept away with 7 awards, including Best Director, Best Picture, and Best Foreign Language Film. Also, he broke the record as non-English film that wins the most awardsso far sported by the 1988 film ‘Cinema Paradiso’, which won five BAFTAs.

The ceremony held at the Royal Festival Hall in London was hosted by actor Richard E. Grant, (“Loki”) who arrived riding in a batmobile, dressed in white and with a large white cloak which he dragged along the ground. When he came on stage, he pretended to be late and joked: “What could be more British than a retarded cape?” But this was not the only joke of the actor, who also referred to what happened at the Oscars last year between Will Smith and Chris Rock, underlining that with him as presenter no one would have been slapped.

The gala evening was uneventful and without major incidents other than the confusion with the award for best supporting actress, when Carey Mulligan was incorrectly announced the winner before Kerry Condon was correct. With Musical performances by Ariana DeBose (last year’s Best Supporting Actress winner) and singer-songwriter Dylan. could not miss the Tribute to Queen Elizabeth II, who died in September, by BAFTA president Krishnendu Majumdar, who opened by talking about her, and later by Helen Mirren, who played the monarch in ‘The Queen’. It wasn’t just the presence of the British royal family, as the ceremony was attended by Queen Elizabeth II’s grandson, Prince William, and his wife, the Princess of Wales, as in addition, the prince has an honorary role as president of the BAFTAs.
