Swearing, Marty Supreme … and Prince William: Bafta’s 12 biggest snubs and surprises

23 février 2026 à 06:00

This year’s Baftas were a chaotic mix of wild praise and inadvertent insults as the best actor prize was won by an unknown – and one of the nominees seemingly slurred from a man in the stalls

Going into Bafta night, everybody’s secret hopes for a little British movies that could were centred on folkie comedy The Ballad of Wallis Island. In the event though, Ballad wound up with nothing and I Swear, about Tourettes activist John Davidson stormed the show, capped by a jawdropping win for Robert Aramayo in the best actor category. As the man himself said, it was not to be believed that he’d be heading to the podium ahead of the likes of DiCaprio, Chalamet and Ethan Hawke. You probably have to go back to the mid-1980s and Haing S Ngor’s win for The Killing Fields for someone so unheralded to take the prize.

“I absolutely can’t believe it, I can’t believe that I’m looking at people like you, in the same category as you, never mind that I’m stood here. I honestly cannot believe that I have won this award. I really, really cannot. Everyone in this category blows me away.”

Baftas 2026: the red carpet, the ceremony, the winners – follow live!

DiCaprio and Del Toro prepare for another awards battle, as nominees walk the red carpet and relationships get hard launched – here’s a minute-by-minute rundown of all the glitz and gossip

The Hamnet star Jessie Buckley, who is hotly tipped to win best leading actress at this evening’s ceremony, has just arrived and is wearing a striking blue velvet dress. The Irish actor recently started working with the Hollywood stylist Danielle Goldberg. Goldberg also works with Ayo Edebiri and Greta Lee, and over the past couple of months she has been honing Buckley’s red carpet approach. They have been sticking to a pared-back colour palette, including black-and-white looks from McQueen and Valentino. This evening’s marine blue look is a surprise, but we do love a celebrity who keeps us on our toes.

On the red carpet, Glenn Close is telling Dazed magazine that the line “I’m not going to be ignored, Dan” from her role in Fatal Attraction is still stuck in her head. Close, who is presenting an award later, definitely isn’t being overlooked in this beautiful black coat with shimmering silver embroidery detailing.
