American actor Rami Malek, 37, received the Bafta for best actor on February 10, 2019 for his portrayal of the frontman of Queen in Bohemian rhapsody, reports AFP. “When I started preparing for the role of Freddie Mercury, I wondered if I would be up to it. It’s a huge responsibility, but a responsibility I was eager to take onr “, he declared. He shared this great moment with his lover and partner in the feature film, Lucie Boynton. Having already won a Golden Globe, he is closer than ever to the statuette of the Oscars, which will be submitted on February 24. The only downside for Bohemian Rhapsody, the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (Bafta) had suspended the nomination of its director, Bryan Singer, following accusations of sexual assault – which he denies – reported by the magazine The Atlantic.
It is Roma, a Netflix production, which triumphed this Sunday at the British Cinema Awards (Bafta) by winning the awards for best film and best director (Alfonso Cuaron), a confirmation of the essential place that the American giant now occupies in cinema . Several times awarded for series in recent years, Netflix had never signed such a resounding double at the Bafta. Enough to whet the appetite of the video platform to 130 million users before the Oscars, Roma totaling ten nominations for the ceremony scheduled for February 24 in Hollywood. In Roma, toured in spanish and black and white, Cuaron, Oscar winner for Gravity in 2014, depicts his childhood in a neighborhood of Mexico City in the 1970s. The film, which has already received two Golden Globes, also won in the categories best film in a foreign language and best photography. “I am overwhelmed by the reception this film has received,“said Alfonso Cuaron,”congratulated“on Twitter by Netflix.
Held at the Royal Albert Hall, the evening was also a success for the period film The Favorite, who, for want of the Best Picture Award, has reaped a pretty harvest of awards: Best British Film, Best Sets, Best Makeup and Hairstyles, Best Supporting Actress (Rachel Weisz), Best Original Screenplay and, above all, Best actress, a Bafta awarded to Olivia Colman for her portrayal of Queen Anne. Oscar nominated and Golden Globe winner for the role, the 45-year-old British actress edged Glenn Close (The Wife – available in e-cinema since January 24) and Lady Gaga (A Star Is Born), among others. Sovereign sometimes all-powerful, sometimes miserable, Olivia Colman flies over this dramatic comedy set in 18th century England, where a confidante and a courtesan compete for her favors.
Roma and The Favorite ultimately left nothing but crumbs for their direct competitors. A Star Is Born, on the rise of a young singer interpreted by Lady Gaga, will have to console herself with the Bafta of the original music, BlacKkKlansman with that of the adapted scenario, and Vice with that of the assembly.
