Seen @ 2014 BAFTAs

| 17 February 2014

The movie 'Gravity' was a big winner last evening at the BAFTAs (British Academy of Film and Television Arts) a precursor to the Academy Awards, winning six of its 11 nominations – including outstanding British film, director (Alfonso Cuarón) and cinematographer (Emanuel Lubezki), and for Special Visual Effects as well.

The other front-runner '12 Years a Slave' produced by Brad Pitt amongst others scored 2 notable wins, for Best Film and Best Leading Actor (Chiwetel Ejiofor) out of the 8 nominations that it had received.

Jennifer Lawrence, hugely popular in the film industry here and in the States, took the supporting actress BAFTA for her role as an outspoken, erratic wife in American Hustle, thus beating out hot favourite Lupita Nyong’o. Barkhad Abdi, who played one of the Somali pirates in Captain Phillips, caused an even bigger upset, winning the supporting actor Bafta over Michael Fassbender, who was odds-on with the bookies to lift the award.
